The professor's comments are interesting. I respect totally his professionalism but was he being flippant with his comments about mental health because we had a witness in last week who said that every man, woman and child's mental health was affected by the amendment? Can I assume Dr. McCarthy was being flippant when he referred to mental health and marriage? Was the witness just being flippant when he spoke about the mental health of people who are married or pregnant or not pregnant? I am a proud parent of eight children and I was put through all the pregnancies with my good wife and indeed both Senator Mullen and myself were the result of pregnancies ourselves, thankfully.
