Privacy is not enshrined in the Constitution, so their logic was faulty.
Furthermore, the question is one of whether life begins at conception or not, if it does, then privacy would not be an excuse any more than I can kill someone in my house and declare it a private issue.
In short the USSC wanted to rule a certain way and used tortured logic to get to the conclusion. What they should have done is declare that legally life begins at birth (which it is in all other federal matters like taxes), and therefore abortion is fine.
