Roe v Wade was passed by the SCOTUS based on a woman's right to privacy,

The right to life is substantially more evident in the Constitution than even a right to privacy. (Even if you find a constitutional right to privacy, would it then give you the right to privately committ suicide? privately self-mutilate? privately murder another human being?)

On the contrary, an originalist would more properly find any state law allowing abortion as a violation of the unborn's right to life.

Sorry - I wasn't arguing with you or anyone on this thread.

I just thought it was worth throwing into the mix that the right to privacy was why the SCOTUS wrote law - and wrote law they did, with Roe V Wade. It was the privacy rights, of the right a woman has to her body (Yes, over the life of her baby). Ugh - I hated even typing that horrible argument.

One that I hope is over-turned and thrown out, very soon.

I am not arging for abotion under any circumstances, nor am I trying to justify it or the SCOTUS.
