However you describe what they're doing, it's not regulation of interstate commerce. Regulation of interstate commerce means providing rules for those engaging in interstate commerce. It doesn't mean providing rules for local transactions, however desirable such rules may be.

Congress was and is still annoyed by such etherial nitpicking. The market is open and Free. They make universally applicable rules under the principlals of fairness to govern all possible players in the market. When the scope of the market is interstate they are justified in acting as they have.

The medical industry is interstate in scope, as is the market they are embedded in. Abortion is service provided in this market that always results in a rights violation. The feds have justification to ban the service. In reality it is an interstate murder for hire service.
