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

Paragraph 2 of 8

Sentence 6 of 6

This sentence contains three claims:

“Therefore, in appropriate circumstances we must be willing to reconsider and, if necessary, overrule constitutional decisions.”

The claims:

• “Therefore”
• “[I]n appropriate circumstances we must be willing to reconsider [. . .] constitutional decisions.”
• “[I]n appropriate circumstances we must be willing to [. . .] overrule constitutional decisions.”

I include the first word as a claim because it asserts that these two claims are true because of the claims in the preceding sentences—especially that “our Constitution is notoriously hard to amend.” All three of these claims are too complicated to determine on a quick pass, so I’m going to leave them for later.

These three are undetermined:

• “Therefore”
• “[I]n appropriate circumstances we must be willing to reconsider [. . .] constitutional decisions.”
• “[I]n appropriate circumstances we must be willing to [. . .] overrule constitutional decisions.”
