As always, you can find the Dobbs v. Jackson decision here.
This is where I’m going to list all of the claims I haven’t determined to be either true or false as I go through Dobbs v. Jackson. Nothing is ever set in stone–if you think anything here is wrong, let me know. If your argument is good, if it’s well supported, I’ll change my mind and move the claim to a different list.
- “’The language of the instrument’ . . . offers a ‘fixed standard’ for ascertaining what our founding document means.”
- “Roe, however, was remarkably loose in its treatment of the constitutional text.”
- “[S]pecifying [the] exact location [of the right to privacy] was not of paramount importance.”
- “The Casey Court did not defend this unfocused analysis”
- “We discuss this theory in depth below.”
- “[S]ome of respondents’ amici have offered yet another [constitutional provision as a] potential home for the abortion right: the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.”
- “Neither Roe nor Casey saw fit to invoke this theory.”
- “[T]his theory [. . .] is squarely foreclosed by our precedents.”
- [O]ur precedents [. . .] establish that a State’s regulation of abortion is not a sex-based classification.”
- Only “sex-based classification[s are]subject to the “heightened scrutiny” that applies to such classifications.
