but the SCOTUS ruled that it's not a federal issue
No they didn't. They ruled that abortion is not protected by the US Constitution, therefore it's not a protected constitutional right.
There is nothing in the DOBBS ruling to prevent Congress from enacting a federal abortion ban. There is nothing in the DOBBS ruling to prevent the FDA from banning chemical abortions. There is nothing in the DOBBS ruling to prevent Congress from declaring that "life begins at conception".

Yeah, tell that to all the women who are now suing Texas, because the threat of lawsuits/charging doctors is sending women with wanted pregnancies home to nearly bleed out, develop sepsis, and lose their ability to conceive because the doc is waiting to make sure it's "life threatening", even though as happened to one woman it changed in the time it took her to get to the hospital parking lot where she almost bled out.

Dobbs ruled that abortion was not a Constitutional right and that Roe made a mistake by tying it to right to privacy. That's it.
The ruling specifically says that it is up to people's elected representatives to legislate. It says nothing about whether those representatives have to be at the state or federal level.
This week, the Republican Study Committee...
Supports eliminating reproductive freedom for all women in every state and puts IVF treatment squarely on the chopping block through House Republicans’ support for the Life at Conception Act.

So the SCOTUS ruled that Roe v Wade wasn't protected in the COTUS. So all abortion laws would be decided at the state level.

Yes. And that's exactly what they're planning on doing if they have the numbers after the election.
