The reason that this becomes the issue that determines whether a number of people support a particular Supreme Court judge is because it's the most controversial and emotional issue that this country has faced in the last few decades. There have been other crises and issues but they all went away eventually. This one hasn't. It's a highly charged issue and frankly, some women are scared to death that their rights will be taken away and they will be forced to get dangerous, illegal abortions that can threaten their lives if they decide they don't want to be a parent. That makes it a big deal to many women of child bearing age.

We're talking about spousal notification, not the breaking of the seventh seal. We're not even talking about spousal permission. Anyhow, it's been ruled on, and as far as the law is concerned, you're right and I'm wrong.
For the record, in cases where we're dealing with a fetus that is not viable outside the womb (through artificial life support or otherwise), I'm pro-choice. After that, however, I have to seriously question the morality of the procedure (in case you care where I stand on this issue).
