Default Re: Alito: \"abortion not a Constitutionally-protected right\"

[ QUOTE ]
Where in the constitution does it say that a woman has a right to end the life of a fetus? Which amendment was that again?

There's this thing in the constitution which gives the judiciary the power of judicial review. Then there's these things called amendments, several of which collectively have been found time and time again by judges to establish a right to privacy. And basically what these judges said was that there are limits to governmental power and one of those limits was to tell women whether or not they can have an abortion in the first trimester.
