As was pointed out before, anything the Feds could have setup up was dependent on the Senate and nuking the filibuster.
There are too many senators who don't really care or with captured constituents that have and will kill any abortion rights protection on the Federal Level -and have been since Newt "Hypocrisy is my Middle Name" Gingrich and the "Moral Minority" took over the GOP and started their Power at any cost campaign.
2016 was the final stand for Roe. The GOP were just waiting either for Trump's second term cementing the fall of Democracy or to be able to blame the Democrats for it's undoing.
