Roe V. Wade simply guaranteed a womans right to end a pregnancy. It did not guarantee or specify any method of doing to. A law prohibiting D&C's while implementing federally funded and on-demand "embryo transplants" would probably survive a constitutional challenge, because it would preserve a womans right to end her pregnancy.
The government could legally ban D&C's outright tomorrow, if they could show a safe and viable legal alternative that preserved a womans right to choose.
So the real question is whether an embryonic transplant would be "safe and viable".
