I don't see how they can overturn Roe v. Wade without overturning Griswold v. Connecticut. Griswold is the case with the famous "emanations" from "penunbras" of the Bill of Rights. Griswold is the case in which the US Supreme Court held that it was a violation of the Constitution for a state to prohibit doctors from prescribing contraceptives to married couples. Roe v. Wade is consistent with Griswold, it extended the right to use contraception to abortion. I think there is a constitutional right to privacy, to be able to tell the government to get out of your house and out of your bedroom, although it's not explicit anywhere in the Bill of Rights. When the Bill of Rights was adopted, there were some who feared that by enumerating specific rights it would cause other rights to be lost. Whatever you think of Roe v. Wade, I think it's due to liking, or not liking, the outcome more than quarrelling with the reasoning.
