I didn't say it was a constitutional right, it's a basic fundamental right. So is the right to keep and bear arms, that one just happens to be listed.

The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

this means that the government only has the powers assigned to it via the constitutions. all else remains to the people.
