I would disagree. It’s pretty clear it should be covered under the 9th amendment. The right to an abortion has been a right held by the people for many centuries. It only became an issue in the 50s when the new field of obstetrics created doctors who wanted to take the jobs that women, as midwives, used to posses. They used abortion to demonize them, and then took over their work.
Now, I don’t know why the 9th amendment wasn’t used in arguments, but it’s clearly the one that should be pointed to. It’s probably one of the most important amendments, and it’s known by too few people.
