I'm not trying to start an argument

And I was not trying to start a debate about abortion.

You made an important point, which I seconded. It was about a principle, not an issue.

Our constitution is not a "grantor" of rights; it is a "protector" of rights.

Which is why those who deny unenumerated rights like privacy are wrongheaded.
I was surprised to see you make that comment since your team has been choosing traditional practice over inherent human rights supposedly "endowed by our creator." You previously put forward the opinion that republics were about liberty, which is in contrast to what your team has been prioritizing.

Own the disconnect.

As for abortion, I don't see that issue as being about privacy but rather about agency and conscience. I refer you to the Hobby Lobby decision.

Unborn human being. Does that mean those of us who are alive undead corpses?
