"No one disputes in 2022 that a national ban on chattel slavery is a good idea and should remain in place." That's true since we passed a constitutional amendment to that effect. The same might be a necessary precursor to a federal abortion ban. (BTW, a federal ban on abortions after 12 or 15 weeks, with exceptions broader than "the mother will otherwise die tomorrow," would be less likely to lead to massive decades-long conflict than a more far-reaching ban.)
