Question

This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment’s concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment’s reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.

–Opinion of the Court, Roe v. Wade,
Justice Harry Blackmun, 1973

According to the court, the right to privacy is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment because that amendment:

reserves rights for the people.
protects people from self-incrimination.
restricts state actions and preserves individual liberty.
creates privacy for an individual’s decisions by enumerating this in the constitution.

Answer 1

restricts state actions and preserves individual liberty.

Explanation: The Court tied the right to privacy to the Fourteenth Amendment’s concept of personal liberty and limitations on state action (via the Due Process Clause), not to the Fifth Amendment’s protection against self-incrimination, the Ninth Amendment’s reservation language, or an explicit enumeration of privacy.
