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

Paragraph 2 of 6

Sentence 3 of 3

This sentence is one simple claim:

“Casey elaborated: ‘At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.’ Ibid.”

For the list:

• “Casey elaborated: ‘At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.’”

And here is the passage in Casey, which I just quoted for the previous sentence:

“At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life. Beliefs about these matters could not define the attributes of personhood were they formed under compulsion of the State.”

So this claim is true. Casey does include that idea, and it is presented as Dobbs indicates. It doesn’t move the project along too much to find true claims, but it’s good to see that the Court isn’t just throwing out falsehoods to begin making points.

This is true:

• “Casey elaborated: ‘At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.’”
