“...a constitutionally protected procedure”?
No. The SCOTUS ruled that a right to privacy existed under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. The due process clause states: “...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law...”
This created from whole cloth the legal idea that privacy equated to either liberty or property. But this extrapolation is neither in the constitution, nor protected by it. It is unique to that decision.
Properly, then: “abortion is ...a SCOTUS legislated procedure.” They may reinterpret day into night in the constitution, but it remains just their fantasy. The constitution remains unchanged.”
