No, Roe only protects the first trimester, Doe vs. Bolton covered the whole nine months by introducing the health exemption

Roe & Doe were a package deal.

Yes, they were a package, issued on the same day, but one said "No banning abortions in the 1st trimester" and the other said "No banning abortions that improve health."

Then Casey moved the right to abort to the due process clause of the 14th Amendment, IIRC.
