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.

exactly right. a case over the government laws prohibiting consensual marital use of contraception, led to Roe. A case over consensual sex practices between adults (Lawrence) is what the left is using to beat a path to a right to gay marriage. Its not the underyling "privacy" cases in these areas that are the problem, its the crazy extension of the concept to these other things that is the problem.

that's what the conservative justices on the court need to reign in - and I think Alito will be one of them.
