While I think abortion should be a right, it was a poor choice to tie it to the constitution as they have nothing to do with that. It's the same as saying that we need to preserve the ecosystem lest alien bears come and gun us down. Yes. We should preserve the ecosystem, but the reason why is rather schizophrenic, so you're unlikely to gain favor among those who may disagree for different reasons.
Also I envy anyone who truly believed there are rights that are inviolable. I'm not native to the US, so maybe I have a different perspective, but it takes some naivete and lofty view of the government if you ever thought rights granted by it could never be taken away.
