The constitution also has no right to privacy, but I'm willing to bet given that you're posting on a throwaway account that you believe privacy is rather important. Or would you be okay with the Supreme Court completely eroding all privacy laws because it doesn't exist in the constitution? The right to abortion is something that was ruled as something between a woman and her doctor to decide. Not the federal government, and not state agencies. Frankly there are already plenty of laws and guidance in place that the drum beating against Roe v Wade is purely powered by hysteria and not facts or logic.

> The constitution also has no right to privacy I think it has that, actually. That's generally how the Fourth Amendment is interpreted. [1] Interestingly, the right to privacy was the main argument in the Roe v. Wade decision. [2] Also, to your credit, the concept of unenumerated rights [3] supports your argument. Hamilton (the favourite founding father among the left-wingers) actually opposed the Bill of Rights because "he feared it might later be interpreted as a list of the only rights that people had".
