I'm always baffled by the dopey question of "where does it say abortion in the Constitution". The Constitution of course does not mention abortion. Nor does it mention that you have a right to watch porn, which you no doubt would say "that is my constitutional right". And it is, because the Supreme Court said it was, despite the fact that it wasn't mentioned in the Constitution. Nor does it say you have the right to travel, and on and on. These tired old canards simply don't fly.
The Ninth Amendment was James Madison's doing to ensure that the Bill of Rights (and Constitution) is not seen as granting to the people of the United States only the specific rights it addressed. The language could not be more clear. Justice Goldberg,citing Madison was very clear on this in that the 9th Amendment “shows a belief of the Constitution’s authors that fundamental rights exist that are not expressly enumerated in the first eight amendments and an intent that the list of rights included there not be deemed exhaustive". His concuring opinion in Griswold (no doubt you ought to appreciate--the right to buy and use contraceptives), was then used --along with the 14th Amendment, to provide certain rights not specifically referenced in the Constitution but contemplated as exisiting. In the example of abortion, in English colonies, women had the right to abortion up to the time of the quickening--i.e,. the time the women feels the baby move in the uterus. Ben Franklin wrote abortion recipes in several books, and commentary from that time period was very clear--it was a woman's choice. Unless of course you were a black slave woman, then the woman had no right to anything.
So the next time you are sitting in front of your computer watching pornhub and wearing your anal beads, you should take a deep breath, and give thanks to the Supreme Court for keeping you out of jail because of your purient interests.
