I’ve been told the right to privacy invoked by the courts regarding abortion had nothing to do with the female, but rather the doctor. The court ruled that the doctor performing the abortion would be harrassed and harmed if people found out what he was doing, thus the need for privacy.
Not true.
Google for Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. They are the key abortion decisions. Both “Roe” and “Doe” have gone public—they are both pro-life, and the original cases were a tissue of lies.
