Not explicitly,...
but at least 40 years' worth of Supreme Court justices would disagree with your statement. Despite what rightward- and leftward-leaning politicians say to score points with their supporters, most justices are NOT in the practice of inventing pieces of the Constitution based on their own views. In other words, if the Court decides that there is a right to privacy in the Constitution, it's not because that's something they WISH were in there; it's because their interpretation of the document as a whole leads to the conclusion that privacy, though not explicitly defined, is implicit in the Bill of Rights.
Keep in mind, also, that the humanity of all people is not explicitly set forth in the Const. (specifically, i mean African slaves and their descendents). It was up to latter-day justices to establish that this is implicit in the <ocument.
