Bork had no such bill Never said Bork had a bill. I referred to what's commonly known as the Bork Bill. Regarding the Right to Privacy, there are three types of privacy explicitly protected by amendments in the U.S. Constitution. The recognition of private property is protected by the Fourth Amendment, limiting the conditions of legal searches of "private premises and personal effects." Privacy is also protected in the First Amendment by recognizing and protecting the freedom of conscience. Thirdly, privacy is also protected in the Fifth Amendment where a person is relieved of potentially incriminating himself by taking the stand in a trial. Therefore, the claim that the right to privacy clearly emanates throughout the Constitution is completely legitimate. The Constitutional right to privacy is based on rights of autonomy. In 1969 the Supreme Court made the right to privacy explicit in Griswold v Connecticut. The Court found the right to privacy implied in the Constitution in the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments (Compaine,1988; Trublow, 1991). The landmark decision which you appear to object to, that supports personal autonomy and the privacy inhering in the person, is the ruling of Roe v. Wade 1973. The justices decisions reflected that there is a compelling government interest in preserving personal liberty. I'll close with a statement from the 1976 Republican Platform which reads: Liberty depends in great measure on the privacy* that each American retains."*
