So how does "federal intervention to prevent women from crossing state lines for reproductive care" work?

Who are they talking about when they say "federal"?

What do they do? Do they stop young women drivers indiscriminately on interstate highways? Or anyone driving a young woman?

Do they have pregnancy tests in their cars to administer a test? Do they physically take them to facility nearby where tests can be administered?

If she tests positive, what action do they take to prevent her from getting an abortion?

Someone is expecting a child she planned for and wants, but she wants to go across a state line to visit her grandmother?

Trying to "reason" with these weird ass creepers is to give legitimacy to their garbage.

Friends, neighbors, co-workers, family snitched on women pregnant with a second child.
The snitches got cash or a better apartment or better job.

Pee in a cup to show you are not pregnant to get the pass.

If you are pregnant and want to visit your aunt in another state,
you must be accompanied by a male relative.
