Despite the SCOTUS ruling overturning Roe, there's a feasible legislative path forward to entrench women's right to choose, without having to make a futile attempt to amend the constitution. It won't happen overnight, but the objective Democrats should undertake is to make it impossible to enforce state laws that otherwise would prohibit abortion or would attempt to thwart women's access to abortion services.
First, amend HIPAA to create a confidential on behalf of healthcare professionals providing abortion related services, just the same as a patient otherwise enjoys. This way, no patient who receives an abortion can be legally compelled, or even permitted, to testify against an abortion provider. No healthcare provider can be compelled, or even permitted, to testify against a colleague for providing abortion services.
Amend the ACA to mandate interstate coverage for women's reproductive health services. Also create a federal extension for licensed healthcare providers, so that anyone licensed in a state to provide healthcare services is granted federal authority to engage in equivalent healthcare based commerce to patients across state lines.
Employ the full faith and credit clause to ensure that no state can extend the effects of any anti-choice law, lawsuit outcome, or attempt to collect evidence or information against a healthcare provider or patient, beyond their own borders.
Require medical billing coding changes to women's reproductive related healthcare services so that healthcare providers can bill insurance providers using generic terms like "reproductive related procedure" without the need to provide more specific, potentially incriminating, details.
