Could the U.S. Congress make a law that makes explicit that the people have right to abortion under the Ninth Amendment?
Post Body

I was reading about the U.S. Constitution and I recently learned that the constitutional rights of the people listed on the constitution aren't exhaustive.

This raises the question whether certain rights like right to housing, right to health or right to abortion exist.

Can the U.S. Congress make a simple law writing something like "No state shall make a law that prohibits the right of the people to make an abortion under the Ninth Amendment"?

Although I am pro-abortion, to me it's kinda surprising that the U.S. Congress intended to give this right to the people and never bothered to turn it into law in more than 200 years.

(The same could be applied to things like Griswold v. Connecticut)
