Yes, you are confused. The basis for the Court's decision in Roe v Wade was a woman's right to privacy. However, the Constitution does not explicitly mention our right to privacy. The Court implied this right from other parts of the Constitution.
"...in varying contexts the Court or individual justices have, indeed, found at least the roots of that right...This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or, as the District Court determined, in the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy."
So while the case may have been about abortion rights, the majority decision is where the Court ruled that the Constitution grants Americans the right to privacy.
Yeah, that broadcast flag enabled TV card will just have to follow the rules and not let you record what you aren't allowed to record.
Who decides what I'm allowed to record? Or how long I can keep it? Would you say I'm allowed to record free over-the-air programming? The broadcast flag would allow the studios to say that I'm not, or that I can only keep the recording for a few days.
