Possible. At least it would be a law and individual cases would have to be argued all the way up to the Supreme Court instead of having it blocked at state level.
So say, hypothetically,
there was a law that allowed abortions in all cases up to 16 weeks. Would there be a case to prevent a woman to get a 'legal' abortion? Who would sue? Nobody is forcing women to get an abortion, if they want to keep the baby they just keep it, so who would sue? That's would be backwards, no? People sue to get abortions, not to prevent abortions. There are no forced abortions I can think of. Same with voting, who would sue to not vote? If you don't want to vote, just don't. And i don't think sue to prevent other people from this and that exists, does it?
Democrats need to codify laws, establish the precedents and go from there. They can't be scared of future scenarios of someone possibly suing to not have abortions or not vote, that seems weird.
