Unfortunately 'privacy' is an overloaded word in US politics.
A "Right to Privacy" is never called out in the Constitution, but between the due process clause and the ban on unreasonable search and seizure, the supreme court ruled that it is implicitly there.
Then the supreme court ruled that partly because of this Right to Privacy, abortion should be allowed. (i.e. Roe v Wade). I definitely DO NOT want to have Roe v Wade discussion on HN, but it is important to recognize that baggage is associated with Privacy.
We really will never get all the states on board because of that.
