Why does Roe belong to the legislature, but public sector union fees, campaign finance, etc whatnot don't?
I didn't say that there was no 1A hook, just that it was tangential and not directly inferrable from the text. There's certainly more direct hooks for anti-gerrymandering etc rules. And imo it's roughly on a level to the Roe hook.

Good, you have named a textual basis for the First Amendment decisions. Scour Roe v. Wade, and you will not find one for the abortion right. That won’t be a matter of anyone’s opinion; it will be a matter of fact.

»Appellant would discover this right in the concept of personal "liberty" embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause;"« - yes, that's not what the opinion was finally used. But it's at least as convincing as the 1A reliance in cases mentioned above.
