but I'm afraid it in no way supports your assertion that our rights are assigned by legislative bodies and are limited to those enumerated in the Constitution.

You make a very good point and I can see where you take what I wrote as saying such but that's not the point I'm trying to make:

The busy bodies are the secularists.
They want to:
(snip)
-- Find Constitutional rights that were never passed -- much less considered -- by a legislative body
-- Ignore those that were.

IOW, they will find a right to privacy -- never articulated in the Constitution and which is basically impossible to define -- and ignore a spelled-out mandate to protect life

Our rights are not limited to those enumerated in the Constitution. Only the government's rights are limited to those enumerated.

How is it so hard to define? It means people should be allowed to do as they like without the government snooping and interfering, as long as they're not harming another person unlawfully. The debate regarding abortion then is over whether a fetus is a person, not over whether people have a right to privacy.
