A picture of a written exchange between NYT podcaster Douthat, and Amy Coney Barrett. The exchange reads: Douthat: What would be some examples of those kinds of liberties, apart from the abortion question? Barrett: Marriage, the right to direct the upbringing of one’s children — these are all ones I’m pulling from precedent — the right to use contraception. The court has said that the ones that are not included are the right to assisted suicide and the right to abortion. I think those are probably the two most prominent ones that have been held not on the list. Douthat: Right. And you were one of the people who held that the right to abortion was not on the list — Barrett: Not on the list. Yes. Douthat: Why? Barrett: Because, given the test — as I said, these are rights that are so widely understood to be fundamental that they go without saying — the test is that, before the court will recognize such a right as an unenumerated constitutional guarantee, it has to be stated at a specific level. Because if you state something at a broad enough level, like “right to control one’s body,” that could include a whole lot of things. Everything from assisted suicide to abortion to — Douthat: To drug use. Barrett: Exactly. So you have to state it at a specific level of generality, because it’s also only if something is identified precisely that you can really measure what the degree of buy-in among the American public is. And then it has to be deeply rooted in this country’s history and tradition. It can’t be a Johnny-come-lately.
