I believe you are correct. We were able to ban partial-birth abortion because the court decided it was more like killing the baby than an abortion. Roe itself was an exercise in line-drawing, in that it allowed for some differences in handling abortion based on trimesters.

Makes me wonder whether the idea of overturning Roe and returning the abortion issue to the states under the guise of federalism could really be a calculated move to give SCOTUS the cover it needs to then revisit and expand the scope of the XIV Amendment.

I can dream, can't I?
