There is a legal subtlety here that's often misunderstood (or misrepresented) by most pro-abortionists: The right to privacy was curved out of the 9th Amendment in the district court decision (not the 4th or the 14th). The Supreme court upheld the district court decision and went further by adding the protection of the 14th amendment as to how and when this privacy right can be abridged by the states (not without due process of law). States must show a compelling interest to intervene in women's decision to abort, and this compelling interest ripens only after the first trimester of pregnancy.
