John... it has everything to do with fundamental rights and there are no factual safety issues involved (not to the level of the "general public"). Read the Supreme Court ruling on these matters, there's a slew of them.
Carey... Here's the part you've missed.
First I expressed this - "This has always been a fundamental right in this nation according to the Supreme Court..."
Not that it was directly in the bill of rights; however there is an Amendment that covers it. See Amendment 9 of the Bill of Rights.
"Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
It's a recognized basic fundamental right by the Supreme Court.
