Not really.  When conservatives are saying "the Constitution does explicitly allow that," they are saying that the Federal government lacks the authority to do something, not that the people lack a certain right.

Also, liberals shouldn't point to Roe v. Wade as an example of good Constitutional decisionmaking.  Roe v. Wade, even if it's the right result, is garbage.  It's basically sui generis nonsensical jurisprudence that would never fly today.
