Legislative intent can never be binding; as "intent" is based on subjective criteria ... and the Constitution is based on objective criteria. And while certain subject-matters may invoke strong passions, the judiciary is obligated to render legal decisions based on objective criteria. To tell someone to "go suck eggs...

People like Jim Minnery care more about their own beliefs and feelings being validated than actually reducing the rate of abortions, STDs and sexual abuse. He's a hypocrite of the highest order and he should be ashamed. If he actually cared about abortion, he would be in favor of teaching kids ways to reduce their risk...
