This is why you codify the right in the constitution.

Its the same reason France just added abortion rights to their constitution. They want to makes sure the right is explicit and will never be under threat like this

I think getting abortion mixed in with privacy issues is a terrible idea

You should read about what Roe v. Wade was about before you say stuff like this. Medical privacy was foundational to abortion rights in the USA. Codifying it into our constitution would have been a good idea.

I’ll just say, by protecting privacy we will protect other rights. Privacy means the right to hold safe and personal communications about various topics. If safe and personal communications are used as a mean to handle abortion and other heath rights, protecting the first equals to protectong the other - * two birds with one stone* -. Our privacy is consistently being attacked from sides. Acting now is ever more important.

I just have some ethical concerns about abortion. I don’t live in a European country so maybe the culture and ethics are a little different. At the end of the day we all have different views but privacy is really important for democracy
