      Only if you’re trying to overturn one of these laws, see Whole Women’s Health v Jackson. Which despite what’s claimed doesn’t protect SB8 style laws from judicial review, but rather protects them from such review before they go into effect and someone actually sues under them.

      Any abortion travel ban is either going to immediately collapse under the commerce clause (leaving the state to have an abortion is necessarily an act of interstate commerce and federal government is the one with power over interstate commerce) or use Texas SB8-style civil enforcement, which means no one can challenge it until someone actually sues using it - at which point I’d get some activist group to make a fucking showing of taking women across state lines for abortions to bait a lawsuit under the travel ban so as to be able to challenge it.
