Not possible!

Given that abortion has never been protected by the Constitution.

The "right to privacy" excuse to allow abortion is a Constitutional FRAUD.

If the “right to privacy” protects abortions, how come it doesn’t protect President Trump’s tax returns?

I am not a lawyer, but I taught US Constitution to 7th graders for a quarter century by going over it line by line, so I have a decent idea of what is actually in it. There is no stated ‘right to privacy’ in there. The 4th Amendment does say “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”. The ‘right to privacy’ is implied and from there the SCOTUS found the right to an abortion hiding in a penumbra of the implied right.

What it boils down to is that 7 Justices felt that there should be a right to an abortion somehow overlooked by the Founders and nearly every state in the Union and decided to create it. Kind of like how they found the right to homosexual marriage in a nook of the 14th Amendment.
