No. The original intent of Roe v. Wade, as expressed in the decision, was to protect the rights expressed in some of the core provisions of the Constitution, and which lead an objective reader to conclude that the right to choose an abortion is also protected by those provisions.

The Constitution that our founding fathers created never implied a right to kill a baby in the womb. The problem with the modern SCOTUS is their infallible need to interpret the Constitution, bending and deforming it to satisfy the reigning powers will.

After losing his sibling to a miscarriage, my eldest son was born at 26 weeks. I couldn't imagine that anyone, especially a parent, could knowingly snatch the life of a baby at that stage of life. Roe v Wade allows abortion to 7 months (28 weeks). He, my son, is now 27 and in the record books as one of only a hand full of twins to survive a sibling miscarriage.

I don't need a judge to tell me when "in his opinion" a baby becomes viable, I've experienced it.
