You show me anywhere in the Constitution where the word privacy is mentioned. I guarantee that you will not find it there.

The Founding Fathers were all good enough writers that had they intended for there to be a right to privacy they would have EXPRESSLY put it in there. Nothing needs to be implied or “found” by stretching the meaning or intent of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Of course this is how the Burger court found reason for “Roe”

Fourth Amendment - Search and Seizure

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

If that isn't the definition of privacy when dealing with government, I'm not sure what is.

You are such a dumbass.

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Are you under the impression that Americans only have those rights "EXPRESSLY" stated in the Bill of Rights.

If that's the case then you are wrong.
