Good point, Pogue. If libs really care about abortion rights, why not simply introduce specific legislation to legalize it, rather than rely upon a garbage precedent like Roe vs Wade?
Unborn children have been arbitrarily relegated to non-human, non-person status by SCOTUS in 1973 , just as it did to black people in its 1857 Dred Scott decision lest “they be able to speak publically (1st Amendment)and go armed everywhere they went.” Thus “our Posterity” Preamble to the Constitution) have been denied their “due process”(5th Amendment) and “the equal protection of the laws” (14th Amendment) without bring proven to be non-human persons “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

I’m surprised why abortion-rights activists have never invoked the Ninth Amendment to the US Constitution:
“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.”

I’m further surprised why firearms/RKBA-Rights activists have never invoked the 9th, either.
(I am NOT speaking for, nor against abortion. I am not trying to start a flame-fest, here, Ok?)

Yes, the right to provide one’s personal self defense with the best available personal weapons. AND the 10th Amendment which restricts the Federal Government to its enumerated delegated powers. There is NO enumerated power for any gun control laws pertaining to the People.

Where in the entirety of the Constitution is abortion listed as an enumerable right or anywhere for that matter?

I think they’re afraid of the result they’d get.

Firearms/RKBA don’t invoke the 9th Amendment because the 2nd Amendmemt is already there. What would be the point? The right was already enumerated.
