In Roe v Wade where did the Court find the right to privacy?

Question

I remember that they held to the basic tenants of Griswold, but did they say in their opinion there was a right to privacy found in the 14th amendment as well as the ninth? Or did they just say they agreed with Griswold and abortion is encompassed in the right to privacy?

Answer 1

In the constitution as validated by the Supreme Court

Answer 2

Justice William O. Douglas wrote the opinion for Griswald. He said that several Constitutional amendments formed "penumbras." And from these penumbras flowed "emanations" from which one could derive a right to privacy. Griswald is commonly called the "penumbras and emanations" opinion. Whatever right to privacy asserted in Roe is predicated on Griswald.
