Do you suppose we might get a little clarification of Wm. O. Douglas' principle of "penumbras and emanations" as a valid method of Constitutional interpretation?

The Founding Father's would be shocked that Roe v. Wade must be challanged on the Politically Correct pretext that abortions "are psychologically harmful to women" instead of on the real issue of whether Constitutional validity of Judges looking for "penumbras" as if they were ancient pagan diviners examining animal entrails for the basis of their pronouncements.

It was not the intention of the Founding Fathers to create a Nanny State to protect us "psychologically" and it was not their intention to have Judges legislating as if they were divine emperors.
