Nice try... but you have cherry picked. The two cases decided there was a constitutional right to abortion

“Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), is a landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. Decided simultaneously with a companion case, Doe v. Bolton, the Court ruled 7–2 that a right to privacy under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman’s decision to have an abortion, but that this right must be balanced against the state’s two legitimate interests in regulating abortions: protecting prenatal life and protecting women’s health. Arguing that these state interests became stronger over the course of a pregnancy, the Court resolved this balancing test by tying state regulation of abortion to the third trimester of pregnancy.”

How EXACTLY did I "cherry pick" when I quoted from Blackmun's actual opinion where he conceded that personhood of the baby negated any right to privacy?

Your unsourced quote (perhaps "How to be Pro-Abortion for Dummies") doesn't even address the inherent rights of the baby.

SCOTUS has NEVER said that there is a "right" to commit murder, even if it was done in private. And, even if they did, there is nothing sacrosanct about their rulings regardless of what the left would have people believe.
