Legally, the constitution is whatever the Supreme Court says it is. In the case of abortion they decided that the right to privacy includes the right to get an abortion, even if it isn’t mentioned explicitly in the constitution.

The Constitution says you have a right to bear arms. All we need is for a state to legally define arms as excluding firearms. I suppose the right set of judges could say you are only allowed the right to engage in fisticuffs.

Which is why Roe v. Wade needs to be overturned and IF there is such a consensus and acceptability among The People, then Congress shall vote on a a Constitutional Amendment to be officially ratified by the States.

Until then, it is just a bad ruling.
