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

Paragraph 1 of 8

Sentence 2 of 8

This sentence contains three claims:

“Stare decisis plays an important role in our case law, and we have explained that it serves many valuable ends.”

The claims:

• “Stare decisis plays an important role in our case law.”
• “[W]e have explained that [stare decisis] serves many valuable ends.”
• “[Stare decisis] serves many valuable ends.”

I have no trouble believing that all three of these are true, but we’ll see what follows to support them. These are undetermined:

• “Stare decisis plays an important role in our case law.”
• “[W]e have explained that [stare decisis] serves many valuable ends.”
• “[Stare decisis] serves many valuable ends.”
