Let's say selling drugs is illegal and you are selling drugs.
And then you decide f this I don't wanna sell drugs and flush it down the toilet.
One could argue that the 'spirit' of the 4th makes you innocent. Cause a judge may find probable cause to search your home...delayed some time...but if they find no drugs they have no case.
Okay I'll grant that potential argument for that specific sort of case. It isn't necessarily the explicit intent of the law but it does without question provide that recourse. A crisis of conscious might give a man absolition. Lol. Okay let's assume that.
But you cannot apply this to abortion unless it is illegal to get pregnant.
Simple as.
