The ironic thing about all this is that the Supreme Court discovered the “right to privacy” in its Greenwald decision that voided state prohibitions of contraceptives and, later, abortion. The Court reasoned that, since doctors and patients had right to privacy, the states could not forbid such practices.

In subsequent cases, the Court reasoned that citizens have no right to privacy since they have no reasonable presumption of privacy. It sees no problem with the government collecting the medical records of its subjects.

In other words, the only right to privacy that the US government recognizes is the right to abortion and contraceptives, even though it now presumes authority to gather information about that as well.

The US has well and truly fallen into the rabbit hole.

I’m a human, not livestock, and I will not be treated as such-just one more reason to live away from cities, avoid drugs and processed foods like the rest of the family and begin going galt-my trust is in God, not the government-what helps my best friend, neighbor, etc could be awful for me-I’ve had the experience a few times when I was younger-nearly had my lights put out permanently-and am not going there again, ever...
