Ho argued that doctors could suffer the same sort of damages when a pregnancy is medically ended.
In his concurrence on Mifepristone, Ho wrote the following.
Leo Yu is an assistant professor of law at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, who specializes in civil rights law.
Yu actually received law degrees in two countries, his native China and in the United States at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
While he lived in Texas, he lived under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Circuit and saw close hand the legal chaos the Fifth Circuit has created in the states of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
In 2021, he created the podcast Plead the Fifth.
Professor Yu believes that when Ho writes extreme opinions, such as in the Methaprostone case, he's desperately trying to get one man's attention.
He is auditioning all the time to the Supreme Court, and he went so far to create something that is quite honestly just not even sensible.
It's like, you know, people want to see cute little ultrasounds of babies, and that makes them having the standing to challenge abortion pills because they wouldn't be able to see those cute little ultrasounds anymore.
That part of rationale is quite just insane.
I think that part, I don't know if that is something that he truly believed.
And I would say that it's hard to imagine for anybody who truly believed that sort of analysis.
So I put that part of analysis as another way from Justice Holt trying to audition for the Supreme Court.
You think you found a conservative judge somewhere in D.C.?
And that's what it is.
No one would accuse the United States Supreme Court under John Roberts of being moderate.
