And where in Edith's statements has she said that in the constitution there's a statement about the guarantee to privacy insuring the right to abortion? She didn't say it and you're willfully misinterpreting what she did say.

She said she believes that the right to privacy is in the constitution.

She said the Supreme Court believes that this insures the right to an abortion. Do you see the difference?

I'm not misconstruing anything. I am simply pointing out that the Constitution does not include a statement re. the right to privacy, that is the result of a prior ill-fated SCOTUS ruling. Secondly Clement's statement that the "Supreme Court has clearly held that the right to privacy guaranteed by the Constitution includes the right to have an abortion" and that "the law is settled on in that regard". This is judicial activism at its worst, and why does precendence only apply to liberal left-wing rulings but not to conservative or constitional rulings.
