I would like to highlight the small bit of positive in the American system. I don't support the removal of abortion law, nor do I like mixing religion with politics. But, due to the system that exists in the USA, even though the government removed the right to abortion, the individual states can still support it and form their own laws around it. However, a similar situation in other countries would result in complete removal without any option.

A bill banning abortion nationally would need 60 votes in the Senate, which it will not get.

They're persistent - I wouldn't be surprised if some senators are found to be unamerican and impeached
