That's strictly YOUR opinion of what equal protection means.

You either believe in Federal courts overturning State's powers or not.

If believe that the Federal Court can tell a State School that it can't set quotas for admissions, then you also believe in a Federal Court telling a State that it can't make abortions illegals.

Can't stand on both sides of the fence.

Yes I can. The Constitution specifically has an equal protection clause. It has no such clause guaranteeing the "right" to abortion.

Again, maybe you should read the document. Article VI specifically says "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
