Right to Privacy. Haven't heard that in a while. That was the theme of Vance Packard's "the Naked Society," which pointed out many of the complaints about gov't etc knowing our private business, and that back in 1965 before the Internet, before buying everything via credit and debit cards, before GPS.
I think the abortionists seized on the "right to privacy" argument because most of us want the government to keep out of our private business and our homes. Privacy from government has a lot of appeal for almost anyone, especially conservatives.
But it's a big stretch to say that privacy includes the right to kill a baby or an inconvenient relative in a hospital, or that minor children have a right to abort a child privately without the knowledge of their parents.
Then you have all the talk about the right to perform any kind of sexual act in your own home--which many people might be willing to tolerate if it didn't also include the right to tell everyone about it and the right to impose it on everyone's children in school.
They certainly have taken privacy and run with it.
" Has anyone notified the IRS about the right to privacy found in the constitution?
