Congress still has to have viable legal arguments to present. And they will be examined against the Constitution and will need compelling reasons to show that they are beneficial and not a gross infringement or hardship on other Americans.
Remember, they will also be challenged and the pro-choice side is firmly rooted in the Constitution already and will have their own solid arguments to refute them.
Society and the courts have already decided that women are not 2nd class citizens. We are not going backwards in history anymore than we are likely to enslave blacks again. African-Americans would not stand for it and neither will women.
The Courts have no say in the Amendment process.
