Before all you outraged groupies jump on my bandwagon, let's see where Henry has brought us.
1) Henry thinks people who disagree with him are irrational, "stupid" "groupies."
2) Henry informs us that "bodily autonomy is not 'a God given right." Not sure whom he's arguing with there since I never said it was.
3) Henry says it's established fact that "a fetus is alive" for purposes of constitutional law. It is not.
4) Henry declares that "The state [the government] does have the right "to invade a woman's uterus."
5) Henry adds that the right to intervene in a a person's sexual autonomy does NOT apply to men, for the state could never legitimately discuss forcible vasectomy or castration.
6) It is "stupid, incomplete, and rhetorical" to suggest that governmental intrusion into a man's anatomy is comparable to state intervention in a woman's reproductive systems. He seems emotionally invested in this.
7) Henry provides perspective on his opinions by informing us that "the right-wing justices by judicial philosophy follow the 'letter of the law.' Having taken just one first-year course in constitutional law at some point during the Vietnam War, Henry is apparently unfamiliar with the Lochner Era cases of the 1930s.
8) Henry explains that "it is the liberal justices that like to rule 'a priori'" in matters like abortion. But Roe was decided by a vote of 7-2, with four of the seven in the majority being Republican-nominees.
9) Henry does not qualify his objection to the right-of-privacy logic, which in addition to abortion established the rights for people to use contraception, marry those of other races, marry those of the same gender, and engage in oral sex.
Perhaps he agrees with Spencer Kimball.
9) Henry states that "abortion is very controversial within the community of women." Gallup disagrees, telling us that over 80% of women object to the no-exception anti-abortion laws that are before the supreme court.* But hey, what does Gallup know about public opinion?
9) Henry "believe[s]trongly that women both should be, and are, as rational as men in *all* matters."
So where are we? Fetuses are alive, the state has the right to intervene in a woman's intimate decisions but not in a man's, it's liberals who created the right to abortion even though the majority of those justices were conservatives, and women--who should be as rational as men--are divided over abortion rights.
Now all you mindless, "stupid," "bandwagon" jumpers may have do as you please.
