Not necessarily, simple fact is that the thing that drives most “moderate” voters in red states is tax/money. Complacency in believing that all republican voters are bible-thumping extremists is a large part of what lost Hillary the election in 2016; Trump made an appeal to the “hard working American” and it resonated. There are Red voters who vote Red for their wallets who can be tipped the other way if things start to look “too extreme”… worth remembering that a lot of republican voters also consider themselves to be libertarian especially in terms of the self/property and whilst that means they won’t have liked Wade vs Roe in the first place (federal law dictating state law) … many also won’t be a fan of overly restrictive state law.
