Heh, speaking of non-sequiturs, I see you are desperately trying to avoid the important points here. Pretending that ROE exists in a vacuum is just that: playing pretend. Overturning it is a step in a process. Nothing paranoid about it: it's been broadcast from Conservative Inc for decades. Where have you been?
Ignoring Alito's words is also playing pretend. It's not hard to see how his thinking applies to lots of unenumerated rights. I get that you don't see privacy covering abortion. Swell. Maybe you don't feel privacy should exist as an unenumerated right at all. But *you* aren't necessarily the problem here. It's what others on the authoritarian right don't find as "believable arguments" that should concern you.
I'm trying to be sympathetic to your perspective, but it seems you are operating in a context-free idealized world.
