The problem with calling it a right is that it can be interpreted that to include the second meaning and that interpretation has consequences. It's cleaner, if not more accurate, to refer to the right to privacy.

Actually, it's not. For a variety of reasons. Not least of which is that you've given up on the dual meanings of the term "rights."

Is it?

The word privacy has less connection to the asserted constitutional rights in Roe than the term "right to an abortion" does. Privacy is not having other people know things. It really isn't an abortion specific word.
