than it [right to privacy] can be overridden as a matter of legislative deliberation.

No, indeed!

That's the whole point about the right to privacy--if the state interferes with a recognized privacy right, the state can be judicially prevented from doing so.

It's what happened in the contraceptives and the abortion but not in the right-to-die cases.

The Fourth Amendment only tangentially supplies support for the right to privacy. It guarantees our right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures but does not deal with behavior, which the right to privacy primarily addresses.
