If the Supreme Court does reverse Roe v. Wade totally as it should (it has already reversed it in part), the most likely outcome will be that the decision to outlaw or not outlaw abortion will fall back to the states, which is where it was and constitutionally should be in the first place.

It very much depends on how they do it. If they recognize officially that life begins at conception then abortion will be legally defined as murder in all US states and territories. End of abortion.

Technically possible, but pro-life justices tend to oppose legislating from the bench. So realistically, the best case is to have the USSC turn the issue completely back to the states.
