If the US Congress made federal law that allowed/prohibited abortion, would it override state constitutions? Federal laws override state laws because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supremacy_Clause

I believe the Vermont Constitution is just the supreme state law of Vermont so the Supremacy Clause would overrule it. The Republicans won't have a super majority to override a Biden veto.
