If you feel that Roe was "egregiously wrong" it's because you don't believe


that the "right to privacy" exists in the constitution. Right wing scholars have mocked not only Roe, but also Griswold, because of what they claim is the tenuous reasoning establishing that right in those principal cases.

Everybody in the majority save Roberts signed on to Alito's opinion, the whole premise of which is that Roe was "egregiously wrong from the start." If Roe is egregiously wrong from the start, cases premised on the same 9th and 14th Amendment bases (also incorporating "penumbras" and "emanations" from the 1st, 4th, and 5th IIRC, another widely mocked formulation, from Justice Douglas (Griswold) instead of Blackmun (Roe v. Wade), are also, inescapably, "egregiously wrong from the start."

TL; DR: It doesn't matter that only Thomas said it, they ALL believe it.
