One way to fight anti-abortion laws is for citizen groups to file class action suits based on the laws being a violation of citizens' First Amendment rights to freedom of religion.

In addition, states that are imposing anti-abortion laws are also violating the Establishment Clause of the 1st Amendment, by attempting to establish a state religion based on their own "Christian" mythology. Amending or discarding the 1st Amendment would require a Constitutional Convention, and I'd think that even the religiously bigoted GOP hacks on SCOTUS might have a hard time overturning or ruling against the 1st Amendment if they find that lower courts are upholding the 1st Amendment to rule in favor of the plaintiffs .
