Although I agree that the constitution does not provide you with a right to abortion access, some of the logic seems a tad stretched.
If a right can't be a right acknowledged by the founders if it's not explicitly stated in the original constitution, then it would seem we have very few rights, and the government has vast purview into our lives. This seems a negative end result. It also means a fetus simply can't have rights either, as the founders did not see fit to explicitly define them as human beings.
The second part it also interesting because it sort of takes three tracks on rights, that someone be forced to provide something and that the government can't tell you not to do it. I think the first part is on shakier ground. I have the right to bear arms, but no one has to give me arms. The third seems sort of odd as well. "The people of each state have a right to decide if the practice is legal in their state." That's not really a right, as much as calling having a government a right.
Anywho, it'll descend into some weird stuff, as we're not a people that can stop at being reasonable. Rarely have been, certianly not now.
I think you missunderstood what I was saying. The Constitution does not Grant rights, it simply recognizes that people are born with rights that the government may not intrude upon. The Constitution is not a restriction on peoples rights, it restricts what the government can do in relation to our rights.
As I stated, the founders believed that rights are inherent to humans, they need not be provided anything to exercise those rights. The 2nd Amendment simply states that people have the right to keep and bear arms. It does not say that anyone needs to supply them with those arms, but if they have them, they may keep and bear them.
As to abortion, a person is not born with abortion. They may have the right to go out and seek someone to provide that procedure, but there is not inherent right to one. And if the people in the state in which they reside, decide that life begins at conception and that killing that fetus is murder, then someone seeking an abortion will be complicit in the murder of an unborn baby.
If people read what the founders meant, ie the Federalist Papers, they would understand what the founders were saying thereby eliminating the shaky ground that you speak of.
