I think you are correct that they would have to make an "interstate commerce" claim, but that's a very thin reed. For example, the FDA may permit a particular medical procedure but I'm fairly certain that would not prevent a state from restricting it.

The only exceptions I know of, like sale of contraceptives, have been based on the same rotten branch of "right to privacy" restrictions. These old decisions are now ripe for being overturned.

They could permit the interstate sale of abortifacients by mail, but I'm not sure that wouldn't allow states to still prohibit their use.

Your right one in the court has said it’s time to address it.
If the left thinks they are pissed off now wait until that hammer drops.

It’s looking better

Right. Next up for reconsideration by the court? The Wickard-Filburn decision that allowed Congress a fig leaf for massive expansion of federal power.
