Before you go on, you might want to check which of the following is true:
a) The Constitution enumerates your rights.
b) The Constitution enumerates the powers of the federal government, and anything not explicitly authorized by the Constitution is a right/power retained by states and individuals.

Congratulations. You have just justified Roe vs. Wade in a completely new way (no need for penumbras here). As follows:
(1) Anything not specifically identified and limited in the Constitution is a right retained by the people.
(2) A woman has a right to do whatever she wants to with her body, including abort her fetus (baby), since this is neither identified by nor limited by the Constitution.
Therefore, by the fact that the Constitution did not specifically limit it, the right is therefore justified by the Constitution. Theoretically.
