“Yes, Roe v. Wade is often compared to the Dred Scott decision.”

Wrongly, it should be added. Slavery was written into the U.S. Constitution. Of the original 13 states, 13 of them were slave states so it is no surprise slavery provisions were included in the constitution.

Abortion-on-demand is not found - or implied to be a federally protected right - in the constitution. Arguably the fifth amendment provides protection to the unborn person though I doubt the founders considered abortion regulation to be a federal government enumerated power.
