Jean-Pierre: SCOTUS Overturn of Roe is Unconstitutional

[pecosbob]

33. There are two parts to this statement

The first is I believe subject to debate at least by those that espouse a literal interpretation of the Constitution. The right to abort a fetus is of course never specifically mentioned and from a literalist perspective it is not a constitutional right. In opposition to this view, many would argue, myself included, that the right is covered by the catch-all of the Ninth Amendment of the Bill of Rights..."The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

The second part of the statement is correct in my view. A court commits an unconstitutional act when it denies citizens of any right protected by the Constitution. The simple act of rendering a Supreme Court decision does not make the decision constitutional by default.
