The separation of church and state is found in the first amendment. As to the womens right to choose, it is an age old right in a pluralist democracy, the right to be left alone. Phisical autonomy is an age old notion, and it is closely associated with the right of privacy, which the Court found to be underlieing such rights as the protection agaisnt unreasonable searches. As to those rights being lost, they are more endangered than lost, but if they are lost, you will see an end to the appathy of the silent majority in this nation, that majority which voted for President Gore and got mr. Bush.
