And because voting against interracial marriage would hurt them even more, especially since they’re developing a bad reputation on racial issues.

Overturn same sex marriage right after overturning abortion rights and republicans might inspire the democrats to keep them from having any political power for the next 50 years
Take out your crystal ball -- Do you think that Roe v. Wade will be codified come mid-January?
Doubtful. Republicans aren't willing to let that go; they know if they do they lose the support of the religious right. The moderates in the republican party are the ones who are saying that we shouldn't pass a law banning abortion nationwide (and when/if the get enough of a majority to do that, I don't doubt for a second they will).
The only way Roe v Wade gets codified is if democrats get enough of a majority in the house and the senate and they control the presidency. They can't count on any republicans supporting that; do you know any current republicans who are pro choice?
