There is clearly a right to privacy or at least a concern for the value privacy. The restrictions on searches by the government points to it. But thats not the issue. Nobody is against abortion because it is an example of imposed privacy. If you are against abortion its because its murder. The civil rights of the unborn are being violated.

Privacy has its limits. If a rapist drags a 13 year old girl into his house and shuts the door Nobody argues the right to privacy they act for the defense of the girl. If somebody goes to get an abortion the issue is simply, does the baby have the right to exist or not. Privacy has nothing to do with it.

"Privacy has nothing to do with it."

Clearly, "The right of Privacy" is just misdirection from the real intentions and agenda of the leftist that promoted "Roe v. Wade". "Privacy" is the smokescreen for those activist judges that wish to remake society along leftist lines, by fiat. Even if a right to "Privacy", how can it trump the civil rights of those who are unborn, those without redress or counsel?

Privacy is meant to be more than a semi-shadow or penumbra, it is meant to be an opaque, impenetrable screen that hides real actions and intentions. We are not only not allowed to act in interference of the right in regards to abortion, we are not even able to think about it, or even discuss it honestly. The perpetual use of the dishonest language of PC euphemism signals the weakness of "Roe v. Wade", that regardless of any perceived rights of privacy. It can never trump a human being's civil rights, or it would do so in all other situations, which it clearly does not.

The Democrat political leaders that use this dishonest language wish to impose an enforced ignorance of the law, reality, and the true nature of just what abortion is; the termination of an innocent human life without due process, redress, recourse, or representation in front of the imperial court that has condemned it.

I agree. Using the right to privacy to exclude enforcement of an illegal act or to make an act legal simply because it is done in private and thus protected is a misuse logic or flawed logic.

The logic of using the presumed right to privacy to allow the use of contraceptives, abortion and now sodomy is [imho]poor logic.

Since the logic supporting abortion on the basis of a right to privacy is flawed, it becomes especially important for some to support it on the basis of ideology. That is why the democrats and pro-abortion forces are so emotional and illogical in their assault on Supreme Court nominations.
