The only weird/bad thing in that list was the federal abortion ban (which is a state issue).
The independent state legislature thing is dodgy, if it means that it can only be the legislature. The power of the legislature is supposed to derive from the people, so the people should be able to overrule election laws by referendum.
Also, DeSantis declaring martial law and threatening arrest of so called protesters seems a bit far-fetched.

0 chance of it happening. Republicans mostly agree it's a states rights issue, and a number of Republican Senators are pro choice anyway, so there's 0 chance of Republicans getting to 60 votes to even attempt it, and then if they do, it might get thrown out by the Supreme Court as going too far on the commerce clause.
Most republicans believe that abortion is murder. Murder is not a states right issue.
It's just disguised as a states right issue because that's the step needed right now. Federal bans will be difficult short of a constitutional amendment.
I'm not talking about republican politicians, I'm talking about normal people who say they're republicans. Most are pro-life and most pro-lifers believe abortion is murder.

Not true at all.
