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

Paragraph 4 of 6

Sentence 3 of 6

The next sentence consists of a single uncontroversial claim:

“But the people of the various States may evaluate those interests differently.”

This is true. Without a doubt.

It’s also true that the people of the various counties within a state “may evaluate those interests differently.” It’s also true that the people of the various cities within each county “may evaluate those interests differently.” It’s also true that the people in the various neighborhoods within each city “may evaluate those interests differently.” Every single person could “evaluate those interests differently” from every other person. That’s kind of the point of Roe and Casey–that the state can’t impose an artificial state consensus on individual people.

I’m getting ahead of myself. This paragraph is only half over. Maybe that explanation is coming. At any rate, this claim is true:

• “[T]he people of the various States may evaluate [“the interests of a woman who wants an abortion and the interests of what they termed ‘potential life’”] differently.”

My apologies for the Frankenstein sentence.
