The conflation of abortion nee pregnancy with the right to privacy was the fatal underpinning in Roe and wrongly construes the line of cases it descended from, starting with Griswold. Pregnancy as framed as the right of bodily autonomy in no way shape or form resembles the right to privacy. That is the bridge too far that leads to Roe's undoing. Alito correctly identifies this in his opinion, along with the fact that Casey is simply legislating from the bench, a no-no in the separation of powers, among other defects.
