(2,526 posts)47. I took your bait. As someone up-thread implied,
your motives were indeed disingenuous.
As I pointed out before, there is not a constitutional right to abortion; rather a constitutional right to freedom of religion, speech, and assembly, the right to privacy, freedom from unlawful and unethical abuse of power by a governing body, freedom from violation of civil liberties and unlawful expansion of governmental power. The constitution also grants equal rights and protection under the law.
The law does not enumerate what you are allowed to do but does enumerate what you cannot do (and the penalties if you do).
Why did you ask about abortion when your real question was about the fourteenth amendment and same-gender marriage?
