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

Paragraph 1 of 1

Sentence 3 of 3

Here ends Part II B 2 d. With a sentence that is just one claim:

“The Court in Roe could have said of abortion exactly what Glucksberg said of assisted suicide: ‘Attitudes toward [abortion] have changed since Bracton, but our laws have consistently condemned, and continue to prohibit, [that practice].’ 521 U.S., at 719.”

That’s disappointing. Why end this discussion on a hypothetical like this? It doesn’t really say anything. Sure Roe could have said that. They could have said many things, but considering the decision in Roe the point in Glucksberg, if they thought of it at all, probably didn’t seem relevant.

I feel like even if I declare this true, it’s beside the point. So for the sake of giving this actual thought I’ll call it undetermined:

• “The Court in Roe could have said of abortion exactly what Glucksberg said of assisted suicide: ‘Attitudes toward [abortion] have changed since Bracton, but our laws have consistently condemned, and continue to prohibit, [that practice].’”
