Arizona Daily Star newspaper editorial [sidebar], about the Bush-signed law banning partial-birth abortion, 11-7-03:

"Again, the federal courts are the final protectors of a woman's right to choose. " [end quote].

Uncle Franco now reads the U.S. Constitution, looking for such a right: "uuuhhhh.....mmmmmmm........uhmmmmmm.......ummmm......"

Nope. Couldn't find such a right. Where is such a right located in that document?

Something about "emanations of penumbras" of more specific rights guaranteed in the Constitution. That is, the Constitution is a sort of Oujia board which can be made to mean anything the Courts want it to - the actual words be damned.
