This is my understanding of the law - of course I am no expert by any stretch either, so I could be completely wrong.

Codifying abortion rights is a non starter. It will pass the House, but never get the 60 votes required in the Senate to become federal legislation.

Ending the filibuster in the Senate to do it cuts both ways - it opens the door for the GOP to push through its legislation on a simple majority.

Even if they somehow pass legislation to codify abortion rights, it will undoubtedly be challenged in court. With the Supreme Court heavily skewed to the right, these laws aren't going stand up.

Individual states may/will codify, like New York and California, but I expect there will be ongoing court challenges - this has been occurring ever since Roe v Wade, but with the anti-abortionists on the other side of things...I don't expect Scotus to favor states rights in this case, even though they used that excuse for reversing Roe v Wade...
