Yes, that’s true, but they aren’t constitutional rights, and the Ninth Amendment doesn’t say which rights those are, either. We had a dramatic example recently of how an unenumerated right can become insecure in practice against restrictions by state governments.
One interpretion of the Ninth Amendment is that it allows (but doesn’t require) the states and the judiciary system to protect additional rights.
