On the Right to Privacy

Conservatives claim that Americans do not have a right to privacy when putting down Roe vs. Wade.
What a bunch of crap.
Honestly, it seems that the only parts of the Bill of Rights that people actually care about are the 1st, 2nd, and 5th amendments. While the right of free speech, religion, the press and assembly, the ability to bear arms, and the right to not testify against yourself are all important, they are not by any means the only parts of the Bill of Rights.
Read this article. You don't even have to read the whole thing, just the beginning. Then ask yourself if there is a constitutional right to privacy.
Obviously, the answer is yes, indirectly.
