"What if judges took into their own hands
to outlaw abortions in their districts?"

Judges simply cannot OUTLAW anything! Not "may not" -- cannot.

The only way that a judge could "outlaw" abortion in their district would be if the legislature had already passed a law outlawing abortion, and the court upheld that law. In which case, the judge would be "disobeying" what the US Supreme Court has already firmly said on the matter, which judges are very much required to follow unless they can show how the case in front of them is different from the previous case -- and that judge should then probably be removed from the bench.

Do not fall for right-wing demagoguery! An apple is *not* an orange.
