The US tried banning alcohol with a constitutional amendment, and later repealed it with another amendment. In general, when the government tries to police what someone can do with their own body, it does not end well.

The current abortion setup in America is by judicial dictat, not by legislation. If Roe is overturned, then the legislators could actually make policies that their constituents want.
