hey, a right is a right, the anti-abortion folks just need to deal with it.
the heller decision said that the government has the right to restrict gun ownership in certain circumstances, therefore there is no such thing as an absolute right.
and before the inevitable jumping on the invocation of the abortion argument happens, roe v. wade established that a woman has a 9th and 14th amendment right to get an abortion, but also that the state has a right to limit it in certain circumstances. in this case, abortion is a constitutionally protected right, even if it is not proscribed in the constitution, which is why the only abortion clinic in mississippi is open today despite that state's legislature trying to shut it down.
