If there is a legislative will to do something at federal level, then in an alternate system of civil law too there wouldn't be a statute allowing abortion. In fact, without Supreme Court's Roe v Wade's 1970s decision, abortion would be pretty much illegal in the US (as it was, right before the 1970s decision).
