Roe v Wade: Does is it Actually Legalize Abortion Explicitly or Just Dr/Patient Privacy

As I understand it, the latter.

You can’t prohibit an abortion about due process, and due process violates doctor/patent confidentiality.

Short of assisted suicide, what other medical procedure is prohibited by law?

I’m no medical expert but I was under the impression that all procedures/devices required approval before they can be used. Thus the need for the recent right to try EO. Again I’m asking more than stating.

It centers around the due process clause of the 14th amendment. You’re trying to balance that constitutional right of the mother with the potential for life. It’s basically impossible to do so the court drew a line in the sand somewhere.

Substantive Due Process is judicial expansion without real legal justification. Its a concept that was invented out of thin air to give courts more power.

What was the actual Roe v Wade decision?

Basically said that abortion falls under the right to privacy protected by the 14th amendment and that the states cannot deny women that right until the life of the unborn becomes viable during the 3rd trimester. It removed the rights of the states to outlaw the practice.

The decision left the choice to perform an abortion to women and their doctors, which I suppose would mean other elective medical decisions would also fall under the same ruling.

I hope that abortion of a ruling (pun intended) gets overturned.
