Dobbs Sentences #198: Part II D 3
Paragraph 3 of 3 Sentence 2 of 4 Two claims in this sentence: “The dissent, by contrast, would impose on the people a particular theory about when the rights of personhood begin.” The claims: “The dissent [. . .] would impose on the people a particular theory about when the rights of personhood begin.” This […]
Dobbs Sentences #197: Part II D 3
Paragraph 3 of 3 Sentence 1 of 4 One claim in this sentence, and it’s a doozy: “Our opinion is not based on any view about if and when prenatal life is entitled to any of the rights enjoyed after birth.” This could be true depending on the reading of “is not based on,” but […]
Dobbs Sentences #196: Part II D 3
Paragraph 2 of 3 Sentence 8 of 8 This sentence contains just one claim: “Nor does it identify any other point in a pregnancy after which a State is permitted to prohibit the destruction of a fetus.” I’ll reword that so it can stand alone: “[I]t [does not] identify any other point in a pregnancy […]
Dobbs Sentences #195: Part II D 3
Paragraph 2 of 3 Sentence 7 of 8 This sentence contains two claims: “It was not adequately justified in Roe, and the dissent does not even try to defend it today.” The claims: “[The viability line] was not adequately justified in Roe.” “[T]he dissent does not even try to defend [the viability line] today.” Both […]
Dobbs Sentences #194: Part II D 3
Paragraph 2 of 3 Sentence 6 of 8 Three claims here: “But for reasons we discuss later, see infra, at 50–54, 55–56, and given in the opinion of The Chief Justice, post, at 2–5 (opinion concurring in judgment), the viability line makes no sense.” These claims make more sense taken last to first: “[T]he viability […]
Dobbs Sentences #193: Part II D 3
Paragraph 2 of 3 Sentence 5 of 8 Just one claim in this sentence, but five references to check: “The dissent repeatedly praises the ‘balance,’ post, at 2, 6, 8, 10, 12, that the viability line strikes between a woman’s liberty interest and the State’s interest in prenatal life.” The claim without citations: “The dissent […]
Dobbs Sentences #192: Part II D 3
Paragraph 2 of 3 Sentence 4 of 8 One claim in this sentence: “However, the dissent evinces no similar regard for a State’s interest in protecting prenatal life.” This is going to take a thorough reading of the dissent to check out, so for now it’s undetermined: “However, the dissent evinces no similar regard for […]
Dobbs Sentences #191: Part II D 3
Paragraph 2 of 3 Sentence 3 of 8 Just one claim in this sentence: “These are important concerns.” The claim filled in with information from the last sentence: “[T]he effects of pregnancy on women, the burdens of motherhood, and the difficulties faced by poor women” “are important concerns.” I’m calling this true.
Dobbs Sentences #190: Part II D 3
Paragraph 2 of 3 Sentence 2 of 8 One claim in this sentence: “The dissent has much to say about the effects of pregnancy on women, the burdens of motherhood, and the difficulties faced by poor women.” I don’t doubt that this is true, but it will take some time to rake up the citations […]
Dobbs Sentences #189: Part II D 3
Paragraph 2 of 3 Sentence 1 of 8 Just one simple claim in this sentence: “That view is evident throughout the dissent.” I hope they bring some support. I have a feeling, though, that any determination here will require a complete reading of the dissent. It could be a while. This is undetermined: “That view […]
