The divide comes with what level of governance has the constitutional authority to aid those that may lack the financial resources to access that right. I would argue that this authority falls into the hands of states and the people (local government and private entities) to decide.
Take the enumerated right to bare arms, which holds just as much importance as a non enumerated right under the constitution. What do we do with those that can't financially provide themselves with the tools needed to access this right? An AR-15 or a Glock 19 on the federal dime? I don't think so.
I guess this makes me some evil right wing nutbag because I don't believe every domestic issue that this nation faces needs to be solved by the all knowing benevolent gods in Washington. Nor do I believe they have the constitutional authority to do so.
No, it just makes you right.
