Of course I'm familiar with the 9th and 10th Amendments, but I thought the leftist RATs have been telling us infanticide is a Constitutional right.

Now we learn that it is actually one of many rights NOT contained therein, but instead one of those rights retained by the People covered by 9 and 10.

Maybe I'm making a mountain out of nothing, but I thought this admission represents a dramatic shift in how the left justifies the legality of infanticide.

I can see your POV with that. Earlier statements were somewhat unclear. When I first saw this thread, I was going to respond with the 9th amendment as well.

I'd also like to make the point regarding the general disdain that many conservatives have towards the "right to privacy" is misdirected. I would think that when you consider the 4th and 5th amendments as well, that you'd agree the founders of this republic were favorably disposed towards privacy.

Look, I think we agree. The ones who are mucking up the language are the lefties who are equating privacy with infanticide. The far lefties will never find the unenumerated rights where they belong - the ninth (and tenth) amendments because the tenth specifically forbids about 75% of all federal activity. Obeying the tenth amendment would also require them to obey the second amendment.

The only way to combat the leftist lies it is to forbid them to equate privacy with abortion. But I don't know haw far that can go when the Stone Age Media is complicit in the lie.
