The Washington Times reports today that pro-abort organizations like Planned Parenthood are “gravely concerned” (pardon the pun?) about this writing by Supreme Court nominee Judge John Roberts, from documents released this week by the National Archives:

“All of us, for example, may heartily endorse a ‘right to privacy,'” Judge Roberts wrote in reference to the 1965 case Griswold v. Connecticut. “That does not, however, mean that courts should discern such an abstraction in the Constitution, arbitrarily elevate it over other constitutional rights and powers by attaching the label ‘fundamental,’ and then resort to it as, in the words of one of Justice [Hugo] Black’s dissents, ‘a loose, flexible, uncontrolled standard for holding laws unconstitutional.'”

Pro-aborts are concerned about Roberts view on the “right to privacy” because, as the WT reports:

The 1981 draft article about judicial restraint raises deeper concerns for abortion-rights advocates because it questions the validity not of Roe v. Wade — the 1973 Supreme Court case that established abortion rights — but of an earlier case that established a “right to privacy” and is the foundation for Roe.
