If Roe v. Wade is overturned, I'd say there may be several states that will have enough votes to pass laws to outlaw abortion. As far as I can tell, all 50 state legislatures need only a simple majority to pass a law that will make abortion (or other acts) a crime.
Here in California, it takes a 2/3 majority to pass a law to raise taxes to support schools.
Is there equity in that?
I think it's wrong to criminalize an act unless a significant majority agree with criminalization. Why should 51% of the people be allowed to coerce the 49%?

I'm a Catholic, and I think that abortion is generally immoral, although perhaps there are times when it may be justifiable. But whether abortion is right or wrong, I think it's a serious mistake to criminalize it.
