4. The difference though

is that reproductive rights were never "federally codified" and was only permitted by some of the states. So Roe merely sought to enforce several Constitutional Amendments that were violated when those remaining states restricted it.

We need to get it federally established in statute and tell the loons to go pound sand. It won't keep a RW SCOTUS from messing with it again (like they have messed with the codified VRA) but at least it gets it "on the books".
