I'm sorry you misinterpreted what I wrote Mojo. My comment was in no way related to the existence or lack there of of a privacy clause within the Bill of Rights or the Constitution. That is a seperate discussion in and of itself. The debate over abortion can be solved on a infinitely more simple level than that:
The goal of a representative democracy is, ultimately, the unconditional accessibility to equal rights for the entire citizenry. No special treatment, every citizen is granted the same inalienable freedoms. If our elected officials create legislation which, in effect, limits the rights of a SPECIFIC group of citizens and ONLY that group, then they have instituted a policy that is radically anti-American.
