Just remember, the right to "choose, read: Abortion" can also eminate from the 9th A.

Unfortunately, you're right. I hate it, but you're right. Blackbird.

"Just remember, the right to "choose, read: Abortion" can also eminate from the 9th A."

In Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court majority used 14th Amendment has the constitutional basis for their decision.

Not the 9th Amendment.

The bottom line of Roe v Wade is that the a fetus is not a person with constitutional rights until it is "viable" to live outside a woman's body.

Up to that point, a fetus is considered nothing more than a cellular mass, which is part of woman's body, similar to her kidney, arm, or leg.

Abortion could be outlawed the day after Congress declares a fetus a human being from conception with all constitutional protections to life and liberty as any other human, citizen.

The distinction being that abortion infringes on another's right, the right to life.

No one has the right to infringe on anyone else's rights...that's where it stops.
