No 'shadows' are needed to establish that our rights to privacy are as old as common law. Only zealots with an agenda deny that persons have individual rights to a private life, liberty and private property.

You are taking the approach that all pro abortion people take that somehow there is a right to privacy implied in the constitution. The Roe V Wade decision was based on the right to privacy which justice Blackman decided that, while not mentioned in the Constitution, was to be found in the roots of other Justices's decisions. In other words, even though it wasn't there, they found it. Once you start finding things in the constitution you may as well open yourself up to anything, which is precisely what Blackman did in order to decide something he thought was a good thing could be made a "right" protected by the constitution. There are many legal scholars that agree with you and many that agree with me. My problem is that by finding a right to privacy the supreme court legitimized killing.

A "right to privacy" is found in the basic principles inherent in the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth amendments. -- Common law & common sense also tell us we have a right to privacy. - Case closed.

There is no doubt about the fact we have a right to be left alone to live a private, non-aggressive life.

That is your erroneous opinion. Feel free to rant on.

Once you start finding things in the constitution you may as well open yourself up to anything, which is precisely what Blackman did in order to decide something he thought was a good thing could be made a "right" protected by the constitution.

You think its a 'good thing' to prohibit what you see as 'evil' behavior by government legislation. -- I don't.

I don't see early term abortion as murder. Murder is decided by a jury in the USA, not by government decree.
