Do rights have to be enumerated in the Constitution to be held by the people?

Why would they do that?
So a US citizen’s “rights” can be made up for just because?
Good question. Ask the 200 Republican members from previous Republican presidents and Trump’s own administration why they’re voting for Harris.
You made a claim that rights had to be written in the Constitution.

Rights do not emanate from the government, but are self evident and emanate from the three natural rights of life, liberty and property.
The Ninth Amendment does not grant but does protect these rights.
Rights are infinite in nature.
Government power, on the other hand, is finite and limited.
A court of law, when balancing government power versus individual rights, should always err on the side of individual rights.
Among our rights is the right of privacy and the right to be free from unnecessary meddling in our personal lives.
Government has no compelling interest in a zygote, embryo or fetus prior to viability and thus the right of privacy demands that government butt the ■■■■ out of abortion prior to viability.
No rights have been created. Rights exist as a self evident truism and it is the duty of courts to enforce rights against government overreach.

I’ve always wondered how does one have the right to demand services from another individual who will have had to have years of specialized training and experiences?

(Bull ■■■■ alarm sounding)
Nope, I asked where in the US Constitution does it say abortion is a guaranteed “right”.
And again, abortion legislation is held BY THE PEOPLE in each of the 50 states, DC, PR and territories where US citizens can vote. Today Thursday 9/12/2024 a District Judge in N. Dakota struck down the state’s TOTAL abortion ban except in cases of rape, incest and the mothers health, saying the STATE constitution creates a “fundamental right” to access abortion before a “fetus is viable”. Whatever that means. 
The ruling will be appealed of course but see how that ■■■■ works? The federal goobermint has no business in the abortion business.

I would note that the Judge is a North Dakota STATE Judge that made this decision and he depended totally on the North Dakota Constitution in making the decision.
Zero Federal involvement.

No, they believe the same political philosophy she does. And they vote like she does.
Which is why this endorsement of Harris isn’t a surprise at all. And it will have negligible impact.
True enough.
Great post.
Roe was bad law.

Much as I would love for it to happen, I don’t think there is any way that Florida goes blue. It’s a pretty goofy scene down there.
