Which part of the Constitution gives the Federal Government the right to pass abortion legislation ?

The 14th Amendment.

You're wrong. This abortion ban has nothing to do with the 14th Amendment. It's commerce clause legislation, nothing more.

Whether the congresscritters explicitly based their bill on the 14th Amendment or not, it clearly grants them the authority to take this action, and not a single thing about it would be different if they had based it on the 14th.
