There isn't any reality behind that statement, it's somebody with an axe to grind because Roe v. Wade (the abortion ruling that discovered a right to privacy in the bill of rights to get the outcome the justices wanted) got overturned.
- loxias 4y agoSo, first you say: > There isn't any reality behind that statement, it's somebody with an axe to grind And then you hilariously say: > discovered a right to privacy in the bill of rights to get the outcome the justices wanted There is absolutely no reality behind that statement, you're just someone with an axe to grind. Bro. Did you even read Griswold (which is a completely different case than Roe)? Also, are you just gonna throw all penumbras out? This shit's been around since the 19th century. If not guaranteed by the 1st, 4th, and 9th the 14th adds it. Oh look, here's the right to privacy again: https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/privacy/Privacy_brand_warr2.html https://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.805/articles/priv... It's from 1890 in the notoriously disreputable HARVARD LAW REVIEW.

- yawpitch 4y agoYou can’t “discover” a right in the Bill of Rights, since the 9th Amendment makes it explicitly clear that any right NOT mentioned in the Bill is still a right held by the people. In other words if you think the only rights you have are those enumerated in the Bill of Rights, then you either haven’t read or understood the Bill of Rights.
