Supreme Court Confusion

I don't know how the lawyers get through this stuff.

The Supreme Court refuses to consider a challenge to Roe v. Wade, a decision that granted the right to kill unborn babies based on a right to privacy. (here)

The Supreme Court refuses to consider a challenge to an Alabama ban on sex toy sales, a challenge that if successful would have granted, under a right to privacy, the right to purchase certain unmentionables. (here)

So there's a right, under privacy, to kill what results from intercourse, but there's not a right, under privacy, to purchase alternative means of intercourse? Somebody call the Smart Guys.
