Indeed, "abortion" isn't mentioned in the U.S. Constitution at all. However in Roe v Wade a Texas abortion law was under challenge as unconstitutional. The Supreme considered arguments on both sides and concluded that particular law was unconstitutional based on its lack of due process. They read the law and the Constitution and found that law fell short of Constitutional guaranties. Roe v. Wade Their decision begins on Page 103. For me the crucial bits begin on Page 117. Enjoy the read. |

When judges deviate from the Constitution they are considered legislating from the bench. It makes no difference if they are liberal or conservative. However, most of the time it is liberal judges who think the Constitution is obsolete and therefor they must correct what they see as defects in society and deviate from the Constitution to do so. |

The Supreme Court never deviates from the Constitution. However, they occasionally interpret parts of it in ways with which we disagree. |

When they make law about subject which are not in the Constitution they are deviating from the Constitution as they did in Roe vs Wade. |

1. The Supreme Court never makes law. 2. When a lower court decision is appealed to the Supreme Court based on a law being unconstitutional and the Supreme Court decides whether or not that law is unconstitutional, the Supreme Court is simply doing its job. |

I understand that is your OPINION. When judges deviate from the Constitution they are considered legislating from the bench. It makes no difference if they are liberal or conservative. However, most of the time it is liberal judges who think the Constitution is obsolete and therefor they must correct what they see as defects in society and deviate from the Constitution to do so. |
