Before anyone speaks on roe vs. wade, you need to be able to answer the following questions.

1) who is roe and who is Wade?

Norma McCorvey aka "jane row"
local district attorney Henry Wade

2) State which amendments were violated that the supreme court based its decision on.

Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

3) locate in the argument where abortion is mentioned

[P]rovides a "right to privacy" that protects a pregnant woman's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion.

4) state what happened to the baby?

McCorvey's appeal had become moot because she had already given birth to her child and no longer had a pregnancy to abort.

5) Now state your case against abortion based on the findings and only the finding/ decision in the roe vs. wade ruling. - no ifs, ands , or buts. Strictly -On the dicision [sic]...

This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or ... in the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.

Note that the current lawsuit does not argue for or against abortion per se, but instead argues that the decision should not be dictated by Federal-level dicta; specifically, the Ninth Amendment relegates the decision to the people, as regulated by each State. If Roe v Wade is struck down, it doesn't universally prohibit abortion; any restrictions are the purview of each State. Some states have laws that trigger if/when Roe v Wade is struck down.

Remember the concept of a "Reno divorce"? We would see people traveling to States where abortion is legal in order to have the procedure done. It's not a universal prohibition as some abortion advocates opine.
