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

Paragraph 3 of 3

Sentence 4 of 5

This sentence is two claims:

“And today, another half century later, more than half of the States have asked us to overrule Roe and Casey.”

The claims:

• “[T]oday [is] another half century” after “it was firmly established that laws prohibiting abortion like the Texas law at issue in Roe were permissible exercises of state regulatory authority.”
• “[M]ore than half of the States have asked us to overrule Roe and Casey.”

Once we’ve determined whether it is established that the states’ interest in protecting the fetus at all stages translates to a state’s right to supersede the interest of individual citizens within that state, this will be relevant. I haven’t done that in this project, so this isn’t even relevant yet, so I’m not going to bother trying to verify these claims at this point.

These claims are undetermined:

• “[T]oday [is] another half century” after “it was firmly established that laws prohibiting abortion like the Texas law at issue in Roe were permissible exercises of state regulatory authority.”
• “[M]ore than half of the States have asked us to overrule Roe and Casey.”
