Maybe, but here is the thing: that’s not the argument actually put forward in Roe v. Wade. This thread is not about litigating whether there is a constitutional right to abortion. Instead, it’s whether the particular case, Roe v. Wade, was correctly decided as a matter of law. If you want to argue that it was, you need to refer to the actual arguments put forward in it, instead of some (arguably) better arguments they could have used instead.
Abortion is a question of fundamental body autonomy (Can my state use my body in order to preserve the life of another person[1][2]), and all the other rights enumerated in the constitution aren't worth a rat's ass without body autonomy.
[1] It pretty immediately follows that if the state has the power to do so, it should also have the power to take you apart for your organs, because I will die without an organ transplant.
[2] Or, as the case may be, another person-to-maybe-be.
