Intro

"The so-called right to privacy is usually used as a euphemism for abortion, and even taxpayer-funded abortion, and has little to do with real rights of privacy as protected by the Fourth Amendment." - I don't think most people describing privacy in the sense of data, information or personal activity would be likely to think of abortion or RTL. Going the other direction, "privacy" was a legal basis of Roe v. Wade, linking abortion to the Griswold (the "penumbra of rights" decisions), but most people discussing Roe v. Wade today don't think of it in terms of privacy, as evidenced by the term "Choice" (and of course "Pro-Life") used to describe support of the Roe v. Wade decision.

Perhaps the reference to a (non-)link between privacy and abortion issues would be better placed under the Griswold section (as a 3rd-level or as a separate section, but I think 3rd-level ties it closer to Griswold).
