Which would have more impact?

Well?

Probably option 1, since there seems to be more "I won't vote for a pro-choice candidate under any circumstances" voters than vice versa.

I think a pro-life candidate would be a bigger headache for the Dems than a pro-choice candidate would be for the Republicans, they have more to lose in terms of the female vote.

Polling generally has men more supportive of abortion rights than women.  That having been said, women are probably more likely to make it their single issue.

You picked an outlier poll.  That same Gallup result had men more pro-choice in 2012, for example.  Here's four different polling companies finding greater support for the 20 week restriction among women:

"Pro-choice" and "pro-life" are vague and meaningless terms-its far better to ask specific questions regarding abortion policy. In that regard, polling between genders is pretty similar.

True. A lot of self-identified pro-life people are probably expressing that they believe abortion is immoral and shouldn't happen, not that it should be illegal.

Option one would cause a huge rupture, option two would merely dissapoint Dems enough to not talk about muh War on Women.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Hard to say, but option two would make more of an impact on the big donors/fundraisers for the party.
