The 9th amendment was put in there to defer decisions on an exhaustive list of rights. It didn't affirm or deny any right in particular. It simply meant the Constitution's silence on a non-enumerated right should not be interpreted as a denial that the right existed (a risk suggested by the anti-federalists, even though the notion that anyone might interpret the Constitution this was was mocked by the federalists).
However, many people turn this on its head today and interpret the 9th amendment as a positive affirmation of all non-enumerated rights. It isn't that either. It keeps the Constitution out of the question, leaving the states and the people free to sort it out among themselves.
