The analogy between a) Roe vs Wade is a law that separates Church and State and b) a legal ruling that separates Church and State.

I see. That's much clearer. Sorry I misunderstood. I did not see my comments as making this specific analogy. But I'll have a go. First, there is the 1st Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

Next there is Roe v Wade:

One reason it successfully arranged for reproductive freedom is because of the legal requirement of church-state separation, for reasons discussed here.

Thus: Roe v Wade is RELATED TO the law that separates Church and State, becaus Churches would otherwise get politicians to overturn any legislation that offers reproductive freedom.

I think we'll have to disagree on this diluted tangent to the main discussion.
