“no due process” my ass
Well, one way is for a state to ban it and then wait for someone to sue them and then run it up the appellate system until it gets to the supreme court for review.

A party would likely sue the state’s AG.
this isn’t true of the american constitution but like
constitutions should be all about not letting anyone take away basic rights. i mean that’s like the point of the bill of rights for the most part.
i don’t know the history behind the 14th amendment but it seems pretty intended to grant people basic rights given the Everything Else about it and the 13th/15th amendments. it was passed during reconstruction? i think? which was a time of trying to rebuild the nation and actually help black people
i’m not a lawyer though. i am very biased here. but, given the fact that the supreme court has now openly been corrupt, it seems likely the dobbs vs jackson rationale was basically grasping at straws to overturn roe, using any method they could get
also there’s a lot of Shenangians with right-wing billionares attempting to influence the justices to overturn roe? iirc?
a lot of news investigations that i haven’t fully read about it. i should fully read these
may i once again re-iterate that i am not a lawyer and take this with a grain of salt
in many cases you technically sue the official enforcing it – e.g. Richard Hodges of Obergefell v. Hodges, who was technically being sued in his capacity as the director of the Department of Health in Ohio despite apparently being fine with gay marriage

in any case involving a law the governing body that upholds it would always be a participant
