Roberts said something about respecting precedent and stare decisis

Roberts did not say, though invited to, that Roe v Wade had any "super" stare decisis. We're talking SCOTUS here where the only absolute is the written word of the Constitution.

It's supposed to be. Then-nominee Roberts played the Kennedys and Feinsteins like a violin in those hearings, so your point about super stare decisis is worth noting.
