I do not believe abortion is a federal right, nor do I think the federal government or SCOTUS should magic up a right to abortion. I am thrilled about Dobbs.
I am in favor of states determining abortion rules.
I am in favor of limits, but not bans, on abortion.
I both support Dobbs and would vote against an abortion ban.
I don't think my viewpoint is uncommon, and that seems supported by what's happened across the country.
tl;dr, get the federal government out of abortion, limits not bans.
Many Americans don't know how unusual it is for courts to make laws on abortion. Dobbs just changes American constitutional law to be the same as it is elsewhere in the world. Just like voter ID is the norm basically everywhere. The CNN drones live in their own universe.
And I fully agree with you on the substance of abortion. You're not expressing a view on this ballot measure, but I think this is wrong - because it will result in judges deciding matters of abortion, and that will lead to sweeping as opposed to finely tuned law.

You're not expressing a view on this ballot measure
In a roundabout way they are though. This measure gives effectively a blank check so long as you can find a doctor to sign off on it. And trust me there will be plenty abortion activist doctors lining up to do so.
I think you're right, but I can easily see someone who says "abortion is ok but with restrictions" going either way on this. That's why these ballot measures have been going badly even in very red states. If abortion being legal is more important to you than the restrictions, you might go a yes on them.
I believe abortion is a moral wrong.
I believe abortion is pragmatically a net good.
