"The Court simply decided that there is a point in time before which the government cannot crawl up a woman's vagina in order to protect the life of her unborn child, on the basis of the principle that one is to be secure in one's person from unreasonable searches and seizures."

The first sectioned that I bold-printed says it all. The Court simply decided -- with absolutely no Constitutional provision to support it.

As to the second suggestion: to even remotely insinuate that the 4th amendment clause against unreasonable search & seizure has ANYTHING to do with the destruction of unborn life in the womb would require a leap of logic. The founders meant nothing of the kind when that amendment was ratified and there is a huge burden of proof on your shoulders to prove otherwise.

How do you expect to ban abortion without a monthly government search of every fertile woman's uterus?
