Thanks Mrs. Don-o. A temporary reprieve? Stay of execution? A lulling into a false sense of semi-security?

The opinion that man is fallen and sinful is biblical. God grants me free will NOT any government.

Actually, the right-to-privacy argument underlying Roe can easily be turned around and used against the government in the HHS mandate.

No, It cannot.
You are making the mistake that the laws must be consistent as much as possible; the court cannot abide such a principle because to do so would dethrone them from their position as [legal] priests, handing down "god's word" [law] from their bench according to their arbitrary decision [opinion, non-legal] on whatever matter.

This is the whole point of 'precedence'; it is not, as they assert, to keep the same questions from arising in the legal arena, but is instead nothing more than the Judiciary playing the children's game "Telephone" with your rights.

The "right to privacy" is a perfect example: the right to privacy actually does exist in some form under the 4th Amendment {your belongings are not to be inspected by officials without cause}, but this explicitly guarenteed privacy is routinely violated every day and on such a scale that it is mind-boggling. The TSA alone would be enough to make a lie of the 4th Amendment, but we have "no knock" raids and property/asset forfeiture and Codes Enforcement, too.
