Dobbs Sentences #148: Part II C 1

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

Paragraph 6 of 6

Sentence 2 of 3

Another sentence with one claim:

“Those criteria, at a high level of generality, could license fundamental rights to illicit drug use, prostitution, and the like. See Compassion in Dying v. Washington, 85 F. 3d 1440, 1444 (CA9 1996) (O’Scannlain, J., dissenting from denial of rehearing en banc).”

I know things were different when Roe was decided in 1973, but in 2022 these are all issues that come up regularly in legal matters. That these aren’t rights isn’t a settled issue. Strange.

I feel like this is a true claim, but it deserves more thought, so I’m going to leave it undetermined:

  • “Those criteria, at a high level of generality, could license fundamental rights to illicit drug use, prostitution, and the like.”
