Roe v Wade, both in terms of finding a right protected by the constitution that's not actually in the Constitution and in codifying the various phases of fetal development.
Mostly true but meaningless - how a case got to the court isnt anywhere near as impotant as what the court does with it. When the court has to twist and stretch the constitution to cover their ruling, judicial activism is at play.
I do not want to get the thread off topic, but you realize this is begging the question correct?
A moral reading of the constitution is necessary for parts of the constitution that simply lay down a general moral principle.
Do I have the right to free speech? Do I have the right to say, "Obama an idiot?" There is no difference between the two, an infringement of one right is an infringement of the other.
