If you infer a right to privacy in the constitution Is that a right in one of the bill of rights, or from where in the constitution is the right to privacy inferred? I know the abortion decision comes from some inferred right of privacy, but I don't know where the inferred right of privacy came from. At least your answer is better than the Supreme Court should be deciding the issue because "the states can't figure it out"! I understand not "liking" abortion, but the alternative is to force women, who you do not know, and who's circumstances you do not comprehend, to be breeders for children they do not want. I'm not sure you would want to be forced in to that, would you? If you accept such duty fine, but it's not "freedom" to be forced in to 9 months of incubatorship. Don't get me wrong, I think abortion should be legal. I just think it would be better if the legality were the result of a legislative rather than judicial policy. I think the judicial fiat stops society from implementing the abortion policies that are most acceptable to society. If it were decided by legislatures, it would be discussed in each election until the actual policy got closer and closer to what the majority of the electorate would like to have. The judicial fiat takes it out of the realm of public discussion other than when a SC justice is up for appointment.
