No where in the constitution are we granted the right to privacy. Although privacy is a sacred right we should all be granted, we aren't entitled to it as it's not in any constitution.
What if I told you that there's no right to privacy?
What if I told you, you were wrong?
Bill of Rights/14th Amendment:
"The U. S. Constitution contains no express right to privacy. The Bill of Rights, however, reflects the concern of James Madison and other framers for protecting specific aspects of privacy, such as the privacy of beliefs (1st Amendment), privacy of the home against demands that it be used to house soldiers (3rd Amendment), privacy of the person and possessions as against unreasonable searches (4th Amendment), and the 5th Amendment's privilege against self-incrimination, which provides protection for the privacy of personal information. "
"Bill of Rights (and 14th Amendment) Provisions Relating to the Right of Privacy
Amendment I
(Privacy of Beliefs)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Amendment III
(Privacy of the Home)
No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.
Amendment IV
(Privacy of the Person and Possessions)
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Amendment IX
(More General Protection for Privacy?)
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." The Right of Privacy: Is it Protected by the Constitution?
In a series of decisions in the 20's (Pierce v. Society of Sisters among others) the Supreme Court ruled that the right to privacy implicit in the Constitution allows parents the right to educate their children in private schools or in their home and stuck down laws that mandated the education of children in public schools. Rowe v. Wade ruled that the right to privacy implicit in the Constitution invalidates many state bans on abortion. Griswold v. Connecticut said that our right to privacy implicit in the Constitution means states can't ban birth control. Lawrence v. Texas said that our right to privacy implicit in the Constitution means states can't ban sodomy.
Change your screen name! The Constitution doesn't GRANT rights!

Rights that are not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution are still protected.
