I don't believe this is accurate.
>The abortion right is also critically different from any other right that this Court has held to fall within the Fourteenth Amendment's protection of “liberty.” Roe's defenders characterize the abortion right as similar to the rights recognized in past decisions involving matters such as intimate sexual relations, contraception, and marriage, but abortion is fundamentally different, as both Roe and Casey acknowledged, because it destroys what those decisions called “fetal life” and what the law now before us describes as an “unborn human being." (p5)
Would a "right to privacy" imply a right to murder? The issue at hand, IMO, is precisely whether or not abortion is a personal, private decision, versus the ending of a life separate from one's own.
