Let's see...the anti-Democrats have proposed limiting the right of free speech by pushing a Constitutional Amendment that burning the flag is desecration and should not be tolerated. They also are in the process of trying to gather steam to ban homosexual marriage by putting forth an Amendment that marriage is only between one man and one woman.
I propose a Constitutional Amendment to guarantee the right of making medical and reproductive choices to the individual.
10. I agree with you that the Court is the final word on the Constitution...
However, that Court changes. A new Court could rule the opposite way that the previous Court did, especially regarding aspects that are implied and not expressed in the Constitution.
An amendment would make it more difficult for a later (perhaps more Conservative) Court to erode the Right to Privacy.
I hope to see an ammendment along those lines. Sort of a Medical/Reproductive/Genetic privacy act.
Something that allows an invidivual to make all choices about their own body and keeps that material private and unable to be used in any situation for testemony, or access to services based on their medical situation/choices or genetics.
