You think the Supreme Court is going to reverse their position that it is up to the states?

Why not? If they can undo 50 years of Roe.

And even if they did, some states have already written the right to an abortion into their state constitutions.

Do you seriously not understand that Federal law generally takes precedence over state law?

According to the Supremacy Clause (Article VI, clause 2) of the United States Constitution

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the Supreme law of the land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

As the Supreme Court stated in Altria Group v. Good, 555 U.S. 70 (2008), a federal law that conflicts with a state law will overtake, or "preempt", that state law:

Consistent with that command, we have long recognized that state laws that conflict with federal law are "without effect". Maryland v. Louisiana, 451 U. S. 725, 746 (1981)

Although many concurrent powers are subject to federal preemption, some are usually not, such as the power to tax private citizens.

I don't think it would be possible to create a nationwide ban on abortion unless it were carried out through an amendment to the constitution. Which is not gonna happen.

It's possible if SCOTUS says it's possible. You should know that by now.
