We may have our opinions on abortion but the danger in just flatly dismissing "right to privacy" is that it neglects the deeper implications of the 9th Amendment. Perhaps "privacy' was just a very bad choice of words.
"Sovereignty of the individual over their bodies" is longer, and again, maybe we don't agree that it applies to abortion but it seems a lot of conservatives want to RESTRICT our freedoms based on the poor reasoning of the Roe decision.
We should be looking for those who have EXPANSIVE interpretations of liberty, so long as it's not assertion of 'positive rights.'
Does the prostitute have "Sovereignty of the individual over their bodies" rights? How about the drug user? Hmm how do you arrest a criminal and lock them up if they "Sovereignty of the individual over their bodies"? Do we have to declare war on them as a "Sovereign power" before we can arrest them?
Happy Scalitoween everyone!
