Legalized abortion needs to be a law, like the democrats promised for decades but never delivered. When the court invents rights then the court can just revoke it. Can't if it's a law.

Abortion was kept legal by not having laws prohibiting it. That’s how laws work.

Also the law doesn’t stop republicans much these days.

I thought a lot of rules and norms would be codified into law after 2020.

Courts absolutely can nullify laws. That's one of the major purposes of the SCOTUS. And you think this SCOTUS would hesitate to just declare such a law unconstitutional?
