Sak does not understand freedom and liberty, and Doc1 does not understand underwriting free contraception and age appropriate sexual education is a cost benefit in our society.
A fetus has no inherent right re: the Constitution. Such rights must come in legislation that does not conflict with inherent constitutional rights. Thus mother over fetus.
It does have inherent rights, as stated in our courts. Again homicide of a pregnant mother no matter the stage of pregnancy is a double homicide.... A fetus also has rights wether wanted or unwanted, depending on differing age state to state. This is inconsistency
And I do understand rights and freedoms, these cannot be granted positively to selective people by the government, they can only be taken away from the government, in a way that's stated government can make no law concerning such and such. You cannot claim that free contraception is a right, just as much as someone could claim a free car or house is a right. The government cannot grant offer positive rights to people since our rights do not come from the government, they come from the people imposed onto the government. Allowing certain people affording extra things to certain other people is not an equal right, nor does it make it a freedom.
Actual freedom disappears when you grant rights to one person over another, in any form. That takes away that persons freedom
Those courts are following state legislation, not conferring rights that do not otherwise exist independently.
The mother's pre-existent, constitutional rights to privacy supersede those of any rights by state legislatures given to the fetus.
No they don't, those "rights" of privacy are still limited to protect life. And each state has their own constitution pertaining to their jurisdiction (their state), all of them have to adhere to the BOR (supreme law of the land), and all of them recognize life of fetus is constitutionally protected in the case of homicide. Anytime you get into one persons "rights" superseding another persons actual rights (let's be serious we're talking right to privacy, superseding right to life...which also violates the fetus right to privacy), you have now ventured into a territory where were violating the constitution/BOR, as we did with interment camps, dred Scott, 3/5s, Jim Crow, etc, etc, one groups rights over another.
Sweet baby Jesus are you really this Stupid:--this is your personal opinion--while the word Privacy is not written in the Constitution--the U.S. Supreme court stated it does exist in 1965--and ruled against Connecticut over it. That is also PRECEDENT. People have a RIGHT to privacy. And YOU don't have the fucking right to determine what PRIVACY you're going to allow.

I've never said, there was no right to privacy, don't know what you're arguing against? just that one persons rights, cannot supersede another's. The case you stated referenced prophylactics. Not abortion, which is the termination of human life, life recognized by the constitution in every state, whether it limits the women's right to privacy over the fetus (women's right to privacy becomes moot after a certain period of time), or in instances of homicide of a pregnant women which becomes double homicide. That's the inconsistency I've been talking about, they recognize the fetus as constitutionally protected in both instances, but ignore it that constitutional protection in some instances with women's right to privacy. Which is to say X's right to A > Ys right to B, under certain situations (being Y is unwanted, and is young enough). Inconsistency.
What do you think abortion is? A very PRIVATE-PERSONAL decision that a woman makes.
