  No, wrong. Incorrect. Roe v Wade was explicitly a ruling saying that abortion should be broadly allowed, and that no government (neither state nor federal) can regulate it (with caveats). Overturning Roe v Wade has given that power back to the state government and to the federal government. None of this had anything to do with the federal government regulating it. It was the court saying it was a right not to be infringed upon.

    Dobbs effectively have full control to the states. Unless the federal government can make a commerce clause argument any law they make prohibiting/legalizing abortion will be overturned due to the 10th amendment.

    >It was the court saying it was a right not to be infringed upon. Roe v Wade was ruled on the basis of the 14th amendment due process clause regarding the right to privacy. Anyone who thought this ruling was an iron-clad blanket right to abortion was fooling themselves. Abortion is not specifically enumerated in the constitution. Just like everything else not in the constitution, it's up to States to make their own laws regarding it.
