Actually, Congress has no more power to change State laws than does SCOTUS (hence the Roe v. Wade reversal). At most, it could try to deny federal funding on the basis of noncompliance with other federal laws. But CJ Roberts has already put a lid on the commerce clause in his otherwise ridiculous "a tax is not a tax" decision on Obamacare. But then, this is all political theater.Actually, the legislature has that power.
IF they can get it past the Senate.
I think the Democrats have badly miscalculated this issue in that by November people will realize that nothing has changed in "pro-choice" states and that the "traveling out of state" canard will be overshadowed by the grisly late-term abortions still allowed in those states.
