Not entirely sure how this phenomenon is called, but we live in times where we no longer speak the same language. On purpose. Which facet of reality are we going to emphasize? Which facet of reality are we going to deny, excising it from language itself?
"reproductive healthcare", correct.
"mothers killing their own babies in the womb", also correct.
Echoes of Babel.

Any such law would be unconstitutional?
They may want to. I’m skeptical. But it’s unconstitutional.
SCOTUS just ruled that no, laws that ban abortion aren't unconstitutional. There is already precedent and practice of the Federal government to regulate healthcare, the power to make specific crimes against children federal, or any number of various ways they could argue the Federal government has the power to ban abortion.
The members of the Court that claim to be pick and choose which material they're originalist or textualist regarding, particularly in this case. Others are just idealogues nominated and confirmed to be political tools of the Republican party. You should not have faith in them, their credibility is shot.

You really think this court will care? Their current judicial philosophy can best be summed up as “because we can”
The second that Republicans have a majority in Congress and the Presidency, they will pass a federal ban on abortion in all the states.
