private,, absolutely. covered by the constitution under the right to privacy? Nope.

the right to privacy covers illegal search and seizure and related matters, not abortion.

I personally find abortion to be abhorrent, but I don't think anyone should have the right to force their moral or religious views on any other person. Thus, I sadly agree that the woman in question should ultimately have the right to make that choice. However, I do see a problem with using taxpayer money to finance such procedures unless the life of the woman is in danger, or there are serious extenuating circustances such as incest or rape.

One thing I have always struggled with....how is abortion a right to privacy? I have never understood how it got linked in that category. I understand and agree with the rights of citizens to make choices that affect their lives without governmental interference. But I've never seen that as "privacy", merely the rights of citizenship.

Onward!
