If gender identity is enacted by a liberal SCOTUS as the successor "innate characteristic" to biological sex and "hate speech" laws passed by a liberal legislature are upheld in spite of the 1st Amendment, feminism as you know it will cause to exist in the public forum. As a gay, having learned of the Cotton Ceiling, I'd face similar repercussions if Horseshoe Theory comes full circle to an authoritarian left.

As far as I can tell, it seems like for all the GOP's virtue signaling on abortion, their actual contemporary policy position is to simply hold the line on Roe v. Wade and the Hyde Amendment, apart from the novelty laws you'll see passed e.g. mandatory cardiograms beforehand, etc.

Remember that historically, far-left countries also banned abortion outright - case in point, Communist Romania under Nicolae Ceaușescu - oftentimes taking much more invasive measures to ensure compliance.
