Agreed. And, the "keep your hands off my body" argument was not taken way by Dobbs because Roe allowed the states to control a woman's body. States could regulate abortion (method, waiting period, parental consent) during the second trimester and could prohibit abortion during the third trimester. If a state can prohibit abortion the third trimester it is still controlling a woman's body and forcing her to carry the child to term.
I prefer my state keep abortion legal, but nothing in the Constitution specifies a right to privacy. Our rights are enumerated in amendments 1-8 and the 9th (like the 10th) is a statement of principle and contains no specific rights.
The Supreme Court has no power to make up rights they think should be included in the 9th.
The same thing applies to the NY gun control law. The 2nd amendment and all other other rights in the Bill of Rights were meant to restrict only the federal government and not the states and that interpretation was accepted until 1925. To say the 14th amendment due process clause makes those rights applicable to the states was as farfetched a decision as Roe. I like the results because it expands our freedoms, but it is not good constitutional law. The 2nd amendment was not applied to the states until 2010 and prevents the states from passing its own gun regulations if the SC objects.

True.
Can a state prohibit a parent from sending his child to private/religious school? If not, what right does that violate. The court said that state violates our right to privacy. If there is not right to privacy then it does not protect abortion, sending children to private school, or forcing a person to undergo a medical procedure because all these were struck down based on the privacy right.
Your words post #606:
"It would be like banning assault weapons AND stating that you are doing so because the second amendment doesn't apply to private citizens"
Once again for those who can't deal with reality this decision says nothing about the legality of abortion. It merely says the previous court overstepped it's authority. Even Ruth saw this coming and said RW was flawed law.
