No. YOU are wrong on this. By stating this, you are demonstrating your _lack_ of knowledge as to what Roe is about.
Harry Blackmun's opinion in Roe specifically broke a pregnancy into three "trimesters", and Roe acknowledges that the state has a increasing stake in the right to regulate abortion as a pregnancy progresses.
In the first trimester, Blackmun said the state has next to no interest.
By the second trimester, there are competing interests between state and the woman.
Roe specifically recognizes that by the third trimester, the fetus has developed to the point where the state now has sufficient interest in the developing life to regulate abortions.
Today's ruling does not threaten Roe.
Quite to the contrary, it actually reinforces it.
Bonus question (which I dare you to answer): who was the California governor who signed that state's first liberalized abortion law?
- John
Hardly. But you are exposing your ignorance about what abortion on demand in America 2007 is all about. A woman can get a legal abortion in America today, at ANY time of her choosing. This why todays SCOTUS ruling upholding the ban on PBA today, has the pro-abortion forces running scared.

Well I double dare you to act like an adult. LOL Anyway.
When Reagan signed the 1967 Therapeutic Abortion Act, he said he did it out of sympathy for the victims of rape, incest and for those women who may be facing health risks or worse, death from childbirth. Reagan did not sign it out of political expediency. There was no flip flop in it. Though it was an action Reagan came to regret within a year and a decision that haunted him for the remainder of his life.
Reagan held a conservative position that life was precious and the unborn child should be protected and defended by a right to life amendment to the US Constitution. Reagan even wrote a famous essay on the subject called, Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation. I suggest you read it, you might learn something.
The SCOTUS decision today was a BIG victory for the pro-life movement in America.
