“Removal is not an Abortion.
So Abortion could become Illegal!”

Lets make everyone happy.
Abortion is banned, only embryo or fetus removal is allowed .
I assume reduction and termination would be ok too. But no abortion!

I liked most of your post. It might make you feel better though to consider that “originalist” isn’t really a thing. Nobody would argue the constitution doesn’t protect internet speech although originally obviously it didn’t. “Originalist” is used as a magic word to reduce protections by interpreting the constitution as narrowly as possible. If they want to protect something they forget to be originality (like scalia in Bush v Gore with his creative reinterpretation of the 14th amendment)
So bottom line is it depends more on what the judges want to protect than on how they claim to view the constitution
