And Guess what Amendment these ruling violated?
The laws violated the 9th and the 14th.
In fact here's the text of the 9th
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
It means that the fed (and since then the states) do not have an unlimited right to fuck with citizens so long as they don't violate the other amendments.
Things like contraception fall under that right.
EDIT: I just realized all his links are conservapedia, probably the least trustworthy source on the entire internet.
I've never bothered with it, I prefer to read the original and make up my own mind. But they completely mis-cited one and were technically not "incorrect" but grossly oversimplified at best on the rest. Which tells me it's just another one of those sources that tells people what opinions to hold rather then gives them the facts on which to form an opinion. Not impressive.
They have a Bible project which is basically applying 'anyone can edit' to a translation of the Bible. I think they said they were going to remove liberal bias or something like that.
All you need to know is that other ultra-conservatives including WND called them out on it.
