I thought the liberals were so incensed that Roe vs. Wade was precedence and settled law and could not be overturned? And then they use the example of Dred Scott???

It’s ridiculous isn’t it? The resolution to slavery was the democratic process that amended the constitution, not executive fiat or judicial opinion.

Cognitive dissonance. The Dred Scott decision was much more like the Roe v. Wade decision, in that it was was bad law arguing from perhaps very tenuous reasoning. Because a person was held legally to be a slave in one state, and the master took the slave to a state where slavery was illegal, would have compelled the destination state not to be in compliance with its own legal code.

I don't think Dred Scott was ever overturned by any court.

Arguably, Lincoln “fought to free the slaves” and, according to legend, the fighting resulted in slavery being outlawed in the United States on Juneteenth 1865.

For the purpose of this post, I will ignore the 13th.

I am glad President Trump worked through the legal system to overturn Roe and didn't resort to killing millions of political opponents.

Not even close. She is not a runaway slave to be returned to her owner. Whe is free to make any decision regarding her body including having sex and getting pregnant.
