However, I would've reached the same result (upholding a right to privacy) as one of the 9th Amendment's unenumerated rights (this was Justice Goldberg's position in Griswold v. Connecticut, but the 14th Amendment faction won out by the time of Roe.)

Is it your opinion that there is an unenumerated right to consensual sodomy, by way of an extension of the unenumerated right of privacy?

To judge by Limon, that unenumerated right appears to include (consensual?) sex with 14-year-olds, at least if it's homosexual sex. Otherwise the Supreme Court would have routinely upheld the sentencing disparity under conventional rational-basis review.
