Right to encryption is arguably implied by 1st amendment's freedom of speech, and 5th amendment's right against self-incrimination (although AFAIK there's not any major rulings on that).
Roe vs Wade's right to privacy only applies to abortion. For example, it does not give you the right to inject yourself with heroin.

- snickerbockers 4y agoYou might be right on that. I'm really just frustrated by the way the democrats are rely on unelected supreme court justices to compensate for legislative failures with an extremely creative interpretation of the 14th amendment, and one that's not even consistently applied.
- aaomidi 4y agoI am too. I mean the democrats have consistently failed in delivering meaningful and lasting change. Sigh. I hope we wake up as a society a bit.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> Roe vs Wade's right to privacy only applies to abortion. That's true in the narrow sense that Roe on its face only applies directly to abortion, but Roe explicitly is an application of the reproductive privacy applied in Griswold and Eisenstadt regarding contraception, and is in turn foundational in the development of the case law of sexual privacy that federal courts, or state courts applying federal Constitutional law, have held invalidated, among other things, sodomy bans (Lawrence v. Texas), bans on same sex marriage and it's federal recognition (US v. Windsor, Obergefell v. Hodges), differential age of consent laws for same-sex vs. opposite-sex sexual conduct, bans on sex between unmarried people, and bans on sex toys (though there was, and I think remains, a circuit split in the federal appeals courts on this issue).
