But it doesn’t matter, the ruling never mentioned her allegation of rape. They went broader and made abortion a “right” based on privacy. Had they ruled that all rape/incest victims have a right to abortion, your argument might have some merit, but they didn’t.

But the rape allegation was part of the entire public debate, the context of the decision.

If you wish to pretend that the previous abortion legislation signed in other states (like Reagan's in 1968) were of no importance and that the Warren Court imposed, completely out of the blue, a radical right to privacy which they made up out of whole cloth and with absolutely no support or previous analog anywhere in the country, then go ahead.

But I'm personally not interested in debating flat-earthers.
