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

Paragraph 3 of 4

Sentence 3 of 3

This paragraph ends with a sentence that contains two claims:

“They also claim that many people now have a new appreciation of fetal life and that when prospective parents who want to have a child view a sonogram, they typically have no doubt that what they see is their daughter or son.”

The claims:

• “They also claim that many people now have a new appreciation of fetal life.”
• “[W]hen prospective parents who want to have a child view a sonogram, they typically have no doubt that what they see is their daughter or son.”

Let’s take these one at a time:

• “They also claim that many people now have a new appreciation of fetal life.”

Even if this is true, I don’t get why it’s relevant. And there’s no support cited, so any checking on this will have to wait.

The second claim is even less relevant:

• “[W]hen prospective parents who want to have a child view a sonogram, they typically have no doubt that what they see is their daughter or son.”

People project all kinds of things onto what they hope for. The people in this example want to have a child, and probably had names and nursery decor picked out before they were even pregnant. This doesn’t have anything to do with people who don’t want to have a child. You know. The sort of people who seek out abortion services.

These claims are undetermined:

• “They also claim that many people now have a new appreciation of fetal life.”
• “[W]hen prospective parents who want to have a child view a sonogram, they typically have no doubt that what they see is their daughter or son.”
