Oh yes, I think it would. 10th amendment and all that. The thing is, we'd get a real patchwork quilt of abortion laws. In New York, abortion would probably be legal into the 3rd trimester, in Virginia maybe it would be legal in cases of rape or incest. In Texas maybe it would be illegal everywhere. So then people would go across state lines and eventually the Supremos would declare it was a matter of interstate commerce and regulate it anyway. A federally protected right to abortion is a sacred cow to liberals, they will not let it go.
The next thing to be re-eavaluated is the commerce clause and bust that phoney beast apart. If it were to happen, Katie bar the doors!
That was the point. Then the people could vote with their feet.
You just stumbled on the BIGGER precedent: far bigger than Roe v. Wade and much more consequential.
Restore the 10th Amendment!

Gee, that sounds similar to what prompted the 14th amendment. How can you be a person in one state and not a person in another? :D
