I have a tough time believing the states are making these moves without some advice from the Supreme Court on how to proceed. Overturning Roe has been THE public goal of the conservative legal community for the last 30+ years.
The SCOTUS does not advise states on how to get cases on appeal to it or what they will go for and what they won't. That is so not how the judicial system works. Once someone becomes a judge, we lawyers basically never hear from them again except when we see them on the bench. Sure, the Federalist Society has been planning a lot of things, including overturning Roe. But SCOTUS justices aren't secretly meeting with the Federalist Society as to how to word statutes so that it'll pass their constitutional muster.
