I never mentioned the constitution or the bill of rights when I mentioned roe v. wade. (You always do this, drawing one thing out of another which I never wrote.)
When I mentioned the weapons I was making an analogy about when a law is written certain principals are not taken into consideration.
ie. when roe v. wade was drafted (which I know came from a court case, duh!) the lawyers were probably not thinking about partial birth abortions. Just as when the 2nd amendment was written (right to bare arms) they weren't thinking about semi and fully automatic weapons. In either incedent if both extremes were presented (partial birth abortion, and semi and fully automatic weapons) then the original laws may have been drafted differently. But they weren't, and we have to put up with both.
