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

Paragraph 2 of 11

Sentence 1 of 3

One claim here, but a lot of checking to do:

“Neither respondents nor the Solicitor General disputes the fact that by 1868 the vast majority of States criminalized abortion at all stages of pregnancy. See Brief for Petitioners 12–13; see also Brief for American Historical Association et al. as Amici Curiae 27–28, and nn. 14–15 (conceding that 26 out of 37 States prohibited abortion before quickening); Tr. of Oral Arg. 74–75 (respondents’ counsel conceding the same).”

Here’s the claim isolated from citations:

“Neither respondents nor the Solicitor General disputes the fact that by 1868 the vast majority of States criminalized abortion at all stages of pregnancy.”

This is a fairly minor concern, so I’m going to leave it undetermined for now:

• “Neither respondents nor the Solicitor General disputes the fact that by 1868 the vast majority of States criminalized abortion at all stages of pregnancy.”

For ease of checking when I get around to it:

• See Brief for Petitioners 12–13; see also
• Brief for American Historical Association et al. as Amici Curiae 27–28, and nn. 14–15 (conceding that 26 out of 37 States prohibited abortion before quickening);
• Tr. of Oral Arg. 74–75 (respondents’ counsel conceding the same).”
