Codifying Roe v. Wade only makes sense as a symbolic act of protest against a court ruling against it when you lack the votes to do anything meaningful. Preemptively, it makes no sense, since a court that would reject the right held to exist in Roe as a 14th Amendment right is also sure to rule that no power granted to Congress allows it to curtail the powers reserved to states by codifying Roe.
