WHOA! that's the phony-baloney mendacious narrative of the anti-abortion crowd. 
Abortion rights worked up from the states too -- at the time of Roe

abortion laws. And the (then) two largest states, California and New York had 
anti-abortion laws wiped out legislatively and signed by (Republican!) 
Governors -- Reagan and Rockefeller..
