I think the ideal way is for these women not to get pregnant in the first place, and use birth control, etc. But, I agree Davey, if they need or want to have an abortion due to medical or other reasons, then that should be their personal choice.

The right to privacy isn't directly mentioned in the Constitution, but the US Supreme Court has held that it is a fundamental liberty deserving protection because privacy is implied in the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments (Due Process Clause)

.

The Supreme Court first declared an individual's right to privacy in the case Griswold v. Connecticut, (1965), which overturned a Connecticut law prohibiting doctors from counseling married couples on the use of birth control. The Court held the state had no legitimate interest interfering in communication between a doctor and patient, that the nature of the discussion was private.

Griswold set the precedent used to legalize abortion in Roe v. Wade, (1973) and to decriminalize intimate sexual practices between consenting adults in Lawrence v. Texas, (2003).

I agree Davey. But then, they've been doing it for years, if nobody is looking.

eg; Prostitutes especially with the aid of slippery elm twigs, ergot etc.

Took a long time for them to get the government off their backs.
