I'm of the opinion that the "privacy" angle behind Roe isn't the real crux of the matter. It's the question of personhood of the fetus, which is ultimately a metaphysical matter, and not for the Court to decide. I'd argue that there *is* some measure of "privacy" in the Constitution, via the Fourth Amendment, but that it's not applicable to abortion.

Jeff, are you a Redleg?😲 I spent two years at Fort Sill in 1/12th FA (LANCE) from ‘72-‘74.
