Hard to find any legitimate constitutional scholar that can find abortion within the text of the constitution.
The 9th Amendment? The 14th Amendment? Or are we fine going after everything from contraception to interracial marriage now because these things aren't explicitly spelt out in the Constitution?
Interracial marriage is protected by the 14th and 15th amendments.

Further, courts, including the Supreme Court, only rule on actual controversies, and I am unaware of any serious attempts to make either contraception, nor interracial marriage illegal.
You can make a constitutional amendment if you'd like. You have over two dozen of them.
We already have the 9th and the 14th, which protect rights such as abortion (or at least, used to, until this religiously drive court allowed personal opinions to take priority over impartiality). It is nonsensical to suggest an individual amendment for every single specific right.
I am not aware of any arguments saying that Roe was correctly decided, the arguments that I have heard have been that the ability of states to regulate abortions is a bad thing.

Don't forget the Supreme Court also ruled this week that public money can be handed to religious schools. What happened to separation of church and state? (Note that this ruling, the gun ruling I linked to on the last page, and the Roe ruling were all split in the exact same 6-3 way. Anyone else see a pattern emerging here?)

The Supreme Court ruled that states cannot discriminate against religious schools when funding schools.
