Constitution doesn't include a right to sexual privacy

A federal appeals court has, rightly in my opinion, determined that the constitution contains no provision for an individual's right to sexual privacy. This, however, seems to contradict a 1965 Supreme Court ruling which opened the floodgates to contraception.
``On the other hand, if we today craft a new fundamental right by which to invalidate the law, we would be bound to give that right full force and effect in all future cases including, for example, those involving adult incest, prostitution, obscenity, and the like.''
