Roe v Wade was passed by the SCOTUS based on a woman's right to privacy, not the right to an abortion.
The right to an abortion is predicated on a woman's right to PRIVACY, a First Amendment issue!
I, along with many others, would like to see Roe V Wade overturned, and then it can become what it always should have been - a state's right issue.

The right to life is substantially more evident in the Constitution than even a right to privacy. (Even if you find a constitutional right to privacy, would it then give you the right to privately committ suicide? privately self-mutilate? privately murder another human being?)
On the contrary, an originalist would more properly find any state law allowing abortion as a violation of the unborn's right to life.
