- No. Griswold vs. Connecticut made birth control a constitutional
- right for married couples. Eggs and sperm are members of the human
- species. (No? What other species, then?)
-
- Personally, I don't think the Constitution guarantees a right to birth
- control, to education, to have enough food to not starve, to abortion,
- to burn the flag, to burn leaves in your backyard, or to much of
- anything beyond which it specifically guarantees. This doesn't mean I
- don't think people have a *moral* right to many of the above,
- especially in a society as rich as ours. It *does* mean that I take
- the Constitution fairly literally.
