What if the right to privacy was acknowledged, but the judge found there was insufficient judicial evidence to show that right was greater then the rights of the child.

My legal reasoning could be wrong here, but my understanding is that the rights of the child aren't at issue in Roe v. Wade, the quoestion is whether or not a woman has a right to have a voluntary medical procedure performed on her. The rights of the "child" (I only use quotations because the decision specifically states that the courts have not decided whether or not a fetus is a person) are irrelevant.
