A lawyer I follow on youtube made that point long before now: the supposed constitutional right talked about in Roe apparently referred to one and only one thing: Abortion. The moment that you're talking about literally any other medical procedure, that supposed right evaporates.
If that wasn't so narrowly tailored, perhaps it would still be around.
The problem is that if you apply the Roe standard to other medical practices, that would upend the entire medical bureaucracy. The government would be affected, but also the medical industry, which relies on the artificial barriers to entry. Imagine if just anyone could use the out of patent method of producing insulin -- why, people wouldn't need to go deeply into debt just to get insulin!
