What you are missing is the 1973 case of Roe v. Wade, in which the Supreme Court held that abortion is a constitutionally protected right, even though neither a right to abortion nor a right to privacy is mentioned in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.
Probably semantics, but there is a difference between a court opinion that can be challenged and decided based on political ideology and a right that is spelled out in the Bill of Rights. The difference is implicit vs implied opinion. Roe v Wade is case law - and that falls into the legislated category of my original post.

What am I missing? Abortions are not Constitutionally protected in the Bill of Rights. If abortions are legal, it is because they are legislated.
