Roe was not a constitutional decision - there is no right to abortion in the constitution. there is also no constitutional prohibition on abortion. if the voters, through their elected represenatives, want it - they can have it. even before Roe, abortion was legal in many states.

Substitute slavery for abortion and at one time it would have been a true statement also.
