re: Remember when it was about states rights?

ROE V WADE was about states rights, not abortion in general.

If I’m recalling my civil rights law classes correctly Roe vs Wade was based on a birth control case by the name of Griswold vs Connecticut. The cutting issue in both cases for the bench was the issue of privacy which isn’t explicitly written anywhere in the constitution.
Fed vs state was never a consideration for the original ruling in either case as far as I can recall.
