So they actually did argue on the terms of a "constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy"? So what article or amendment is this right being associated? Again, not being an arse. I'm just trying to rationalize a ruling such as this with the number of fetal homicide laws that exist in nearly 40 states. I completely understand these laws are intended to make abortion as difficult as possible.

I forget which one specifically(14th maybe?), but the Roe v. Wade decision was based on the privacy clause, and hinged on the privacy of the decision made between a doctor and a patient. Anti-abortion folks haven't been able to crack that decision, so have gone this route to close abortion clinics. Not sure what constitutional argument the pro-abortion folks are using to fight these laws.

The privacy clause and penumbra of the constitution.
I'm having a hard time believing you've never heard of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
