SAD - like so many on the Catholic right wing who are pro-birth, you are unable to understand the basic Roe v Wade arguments and the constitutional points that SCOTUS laid out in a 7-2 decision and now 40 years of case law on Roe v Wade.

-  Roe v. Wade grounds constitutional protections for women’s decision wheth­er to end a pregnancy in the Due Process Clauses. But in the four decades since Roe, the U.S. Supreme Court has come to recognize the abortion right as an equality right as well as a liberty right. In this Essay, we describe some distinctive features of equality arguments for abortion rights. We then show how, over time, the Court and individual Justices have begun to employ equal­ity arguments in analyzing the constitutionality of abortion restrictions. These arguments first appear inside of substantive due process case law, and then as claims on the Equal Protection Clause.
