Actually that is pretty much the reasoning. The Right of Privacy is linked to Abortion. They could have used the Ninth amendment to say you have the right of abortion, but no they used the IX amendment and the privacy interpreted in there to say you have that right. I do have to admit though that the Supreme Court was pulling something out of its *** when it passed this case.
