Do you believe there is a “right” to an abortion as well?
You know, for some reason, I knew you were going to try to make that argument. And a STUPID argument it is.
Sorry, but asserting a legitimate right of privacy under the 4th and 9th amendments does not follow to a nebulous "right" to abortion. In fact, the 5th amendment guarantees every person, among other things, that they shall not be deprived of their life or liberty without due process of law, meaning that these can only happen when you are convicted of a crime in a court of law. Otherwise, you may not have these taken from you (if the Constitution were actually followed). Meaning - abortion is not allowed under that clause.
Simply because left-wing judges have tried to find a "right" to abortion under the 9th amendment does not negate the fact that the 9th amendment (and the 4th) DOES protect our unenumerated rights - which includes privacy.
So, do I think the government has an unrestricted right to invade my privacy, simply because the 9th amendment has been abused to justify abortion? Of course not.
Do YOU think the government has an unrestricted right to invade YOUR privacy?
The 9th Amendment does not confer any substantive rights. Instead, the 9th Amendment was codified to prevent a draconian implementation of Expressio unius est exclusio alterius, with regards to the rights outlined in the Constitution. If the 9th Amendment actually conferred substantive rights, all you would need is for a Federal Judge somewhere to “find” a new “right” to something hidden away in the Ninth Amendment. That of course would mean that we live in an oligarchy, not a Republic.
