Reverse gluing when building door frames?

Hello everyone.
I've been browsing the forum a bit but haven't found a clear answer, so I'm starting a new thread.
I'm planning to build a door frame for an interior door and wonder if it's necessary to reverse laminate the materials before I rabbet them, to prevent warping. I was thinking of using 45x120 that I intend to rabbet out, either with a router or a planer.
I've used the technique when building simpler doors, but then it's thinner material that bends more easily, so it's necessary there.
Thanks in advance

No, it doesn't take that long, but I was planning to make 4 frames, I see that I didn't mention that in the original question. Do you usually plane/rout or saw the rebate considering you get different grain directions?
I run them through the planer.
