Your opinion presupposes abortion is a medical procedure and not a murder and ever larger percentages of the population would disagree with that categorization the closer to term a pregnancy is.
You also don't seem to have a good grasp on how the constitution works. It has a mechanism for amending itself so it is most appropriate to interpret it in an originalist framework. That is usually interpreted as meaning what the people who wrote it likely meant or, if referring to something in common usage at the time, then the modern item currently in common usage or likely to be in common usage. Abortion was illegal at the time of writing the constitution and also at the time of writing the 4th ammendment and stayed illegal for many decades following so there is no way they meant that procedure was protected by the constitution, it was and is very clearly the purview of the state legislatures (or you can amend the constitution). This is why overturning roe was the right thing to do even if you strongly support the legality of abortion, as I do.
