54. Not every good thing is a Constitutional right

Mon Jun 25, 2012, 07:39 AM

“Clearly most people don't have a clue that there is no Constitutional right to an abortion.”

Not every good thing is a Constitutional right. Every issue is not a binary, constitutional right vs. unconstitutional. Can you imagine a nation that only allowed things listed? A poll asking if single player health care is a Constitutional right is not the same as asking if I support it.
