liberal construction with respect to our rights, So does that mean that there is a right to abortion to be found in there?

So does that mean that there is a right to abortion to be found in there? One might construe it means there is a right to abortion, gay marriage, incest, unfettered drug use, or any number of other individual "personal rights" that 5 justices can agree to liberally construct, if PH's words are to be taken literally and liberally in this case. PH, is that what you are implying? Or would you construct the Tenth Amendment's reservation to the States or to the People to mean that State governments can rightly decide how to legislate on these issues.

The Constitution does not address abortion in any manner whatsoever.

It means that people have a right to live in the kind of society they want to live in, including the right to establish rules of conduct to protect innocent life.
