So why does no one care about the 9th amendment?
I do. But I'm not USAian.
But the supreme court decision, while it affects Roe V Wade, was about more than abortion. Same with the other cases that Justice Thomas cited in the decision. It was about
stare decisis, and things that have already been decided. Roe v Wade was decided on the right to privacy from the State. Cases also cited in that overturning of Roe v Wade, which also depend on the right to privacy from the state include cases where a person has the right to sleep with whoever they want, and marry whoever they want, free from the state's intervention.
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/2 ... 2_6j37.pdfI've seen opinions that it wasn't abortion that was overturned, it will be the person's right to privacy that is going to be the ultimate casualty here. And the 9th amendment is very important to that, because the US Constitution has no enumerated right to privacy. The absolutists will not allow anything that isn't expressly in the Constitution, even though the authors never envisioned a spying device in everyone's pocket tied directly back to the State.
