Present to me the right of privacy as stated in the Constitution of 1789 and the Bill of Rights in 1791. Not rights wrongly twisted at a later date, the right as assumed by the Founders. These laws were on the books for many years until the 'right of privacy' suddenly appeared to condone actions the Founders and their peers expressly forbid in state laws.

Presented, [in bold], for your consideration, BB.
The 'right to privacy' while not enumerated, can logically be infered, unless an irrational bias against liberty exists:

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Show me where in the Constitution your right to marry and raise children can be found.
