It’s like saying I have a right to have children.
You do. Or, at least the state doesn't have the power to prevent you that from trying, if you find somebody willing to have them with you.

Imagine what would happen if the government told a group of otherwise free citizens that they weren't allowed to have children. No court would uphold that.

Not all our God-given rights are guarantees that we'll get there. We have the unalienable right not to happiness but to the pursuit of happiness.

I'm pretty certain that Ted Olson will argue that point, and I'm also pretty certain that Justice Kennedy will buy it. Not what I want to happen, but what I think will happen.

That is why it CANNOT be an individual right.
