As always, you can find the Dobbs v. Jackson decision here.

Paragraph 8 of 9

Sentence 4 of 4

The last sentence of this paragraph is basically a single claim, but there is a second suggestion that is a sort of claim:

“As the Court cautioned in Glucksberg, ‘[w]e must . . . exercise the utmost care whenever we are asked to break new ground in this field, lest the liberty protected by the Due Process Clause be subtly transformed into the policy preferences of the Members of this Court.’ 521 U. S., at 720 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

We’ve covered this ground before, but for the sake of completeness, here’s the relevant passage in Glucksberg again:

“By extending constitutional protection to an asserted right or liberty interest, we, to a great extent, place the matter outside the arena of public debate and legislative action. We must therefore “exercise the utmost care whenever we are asked to break new ground in this field,” ibid., lest the liberty protected by the Due Process Clause be subtly transformed into the policy preferences of the Members of this Court, Moore, 431 U. S., at 502 (plurality opinion).

So yes, this passage exists in Glucksberg, so the main claim in this sentence is true—that is, everything but the first word of the sentence is a true claim:

• “[T]he Court cautioned in Glucksberg [that] ‘[w]e must . . . exercise the utmost care whenever we are asked to break new ground in this field, lest the liberty protected by the Due Process Clause be subtly transformed into the policy preferences of the Members of this Court.’”

The suggestion that I mentioned is in the first word of the sentence. “As” implies that the warning in Glucksberg is valid, and that has not been established. So while the partial sentence is true, the full quote is undetermined:

• “As the Court cautioned in Glucksberg, ‘[w]e must . . . exercise the utmost care whenever we are asked to break new ground in this field, lest the liberty protected by the Due Process Clause be subtly transformed into the policy preferences of the Members of this Court.’ 521 U. S., at 720 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).
