“SCOTUS has said the right to abortion is rooted in the natural right to privacy”
Well Said, I agree with you that the SCOTUS has rooted abortion as a ‘natural right’ to privacy.
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”
Again this is a prohibition directed at the federal government. We’ll save the abortion argument for another thread. But it is an illustration of how the left uses ‘natural rights’ when it is to their advantage and ignores it where it’s not. And also the left forgets that the constitution is not by it’s nature ‘incorporated’. That is that the constitution is directed to restrict the authority of the federal government to those specifically that are specifically enumerated. All other authorities are directed to the states and then to the people.
The left imagines, teaches and communicates as if the constitution grants rights and privileges’ to the American people and policed by the federal government. As long as we embrace that sophistry of the plain language of the constitution we will be unable to make a proper case.
Excellent points, both.
The idea to assert and protect a right to kill a baby in private is ridiculous on its face.
Abortion is taking the life of another person. It has nothing to do with a right to privacy.
Roe v Wade is bunk. It’s teenagers telling their parents they can’t come in their room.
