Again, either the Tenth Amendment guarantees the people of the United States their fundamental rights or it's just meaningless marks on an old piece of paper.

It does no such thing - but you are just as fond of finding penumbras, apparently, as the majority was in Roe.

In other words, you're arguing that originalism is judicial activism. Sorry, that doesn't fly.

Please point out a single SCOTUS decision on abortion prior to Roe. As the article indicated, there was no such decision.

The people have no rights other than those specifically enumerated in the Constitution and the Framers were smoking crack or something when they imagined that there were rights other than those enumerated that were retained by the people.

What has that got to do with originalism?

Legalizing the murder of unborn children was never even contemplated by the framers as a rational possibility.
