As I said, I think it's a misnomer to say that the Constitution gives us rights, so we're really talking at cross purposes here.

It's hard for me to imagine that people actually believe that the government has the right to tell you that you can only have one child, and if you have more than one child, they can force a woman to have an abortion, or sterilize men and women who have had their one child.

If a state passed such a law, or Congress, where would you turn?

You can't turn to the Constitution, because there is no enforceable right to be let alone, or so you say.

(Parenthetically, is it fair to say that you have no intention of actually reading any of Elliot's Debates?)
