Your post is a "breathing message" that can mean whatever I, the reader, want it to mean. See what a nonsensical statement that is?

If you want tell me that something is protected by the Constitution, my expectation is that you will be able to back it up with actual words from the Constitution. My expectation of the Supreme Court is no less. If we are to consider ourselves "a nation ruled by laws", then "because the men in black robes said so" is not good enough. Unfortunately, the Courts have been failing in this more and more over the past generation. Abortion is just one issue among many where this has been demonstrated.

I get it. Sometimes you just have those fears that don't make sense but you can't get rid of them anyway. I know someone with an irrational fear of getting her eyes checked out at the the optometrist. She is afraid of being "judged" or "patronized" by the person doing the chart test (where they flip between lenses and ask which is better). She is afraid of being told that her vision getting worse, which ironically makes it hard for her to get treatment which may keep it from getting worse.

If you have that kind of fear of the dentist, I get that no amount of "it's going to be okay" will help. Good for you for going anyway.
