No matter how you feel about these issues, Ann has one thing completely wrong. Just because it is not listed as a right in the constitution does not mean it is illegal. The Constitution and our Bill of Rights were not meant to be an all inclusive list of what we are permitted to do.

I fear you have missed the whole point.
The point is that the constitution says not a word about these things she has mentioned no matter what convoluted logic the judges use to arrive at their desired endpoint.
It doesn't say it.
Therefore, the matter at hand is not theirs to decide.
It is a matter to be left alone or to be debated by the people. It is a matter for the people via their legislatures to make laws if those become necessary.

(This view was discussed in the Federalist and anti-Federalists papers.)
