Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See Hysteric.] (Med.) A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women, in which the emotional and reflex excitability is exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished, so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into paroxism or fits. [1913 Webster] Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing, and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the throat. The affection presents the most varied symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment alone. Hysteric
Roe v. Wade is the clincher. I appreciate that Kavanaugh is someone who is able to stand on his qualifications and overall judicial philosophy — he should not have to be put on “gotcha” trial for his faith or social views.
But I trust God will protect his confirmation process if it is meant to be — and even a few liberal hearts and minds can be shaped to do the right thing.
