Sure thing, Fred. So why not have a mandatory fingerprint and DNA database for all US residents? It would make the vast majority of criminal acts infinitely easier to solve.

Interesting that you would use this example. See this is an example of the first amendment, the right to own a firearm is the second amendment. I've been looking intensively and have yet to find the amendment guaranteeing the right to get an abortion. (note this doesn't change my opinion on abortion just pointing out the absurdity of your argument)

Somehow I don't think so.

I could be wrong, but I think you're again conflating a Constitutionally guaranteed right with a non-right. Your argument is silly.
