The 14th amendment was enacted precisely to protect blacks from such acts by government.

You miss the point. It took nearly 100 years for laws requiring blacks to sit in the back of the bus to be struck down, and they weren't struck down by
Lochner-era activists.

... mirabile dictu, a right to privacy ...

Thank goodness the 4th and 9th Amendments haven't been "deleted." As far as I know, both the 2nd Amendment and the freedom of religion clause are still intact, although Justice Scalia restricted its protections considerably in
Employment Division v. Smith.
And for the life of me I don't understand how a political conservative can view with such contempt the Court's recognition of a constitutionally protected right to individual privacy.

... and (gasp!) watch their hands! - a right to abortion!!!

It's already been noted that you're apparently unfamiliar with
Roe v. Wade. Claiming a "right to abortion" is a hyperbolic characterization of the cases. More accurately, the state's interest in the fetus increases along with its development.
