Dobbs Sentences #103: Part II B 3
Paragraph 2 of 11 Sentence 2 of 3 Another sentence with a single claim: “Instead, respondents are forced to argue that it ‘does [not] matter that some States prohibited abortion at the time Roe was decided or when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted.’ Brief for Respondents 21.” That’s a weird phrase: “respondents are forced to,” […]
Dobbs Sentences #95: Part II B 2 c
Paragraph 6 of 6 Sentence 2 of 4 Just one claim in this sentence, too: “At that time, also by the Roe Court’s own count, a substantial majority—30 States—still prohibited abortion at all stages except to save the life of the mother. See id., at 118, and n. 2 (listing States).” It’s a simple claim, […]

Dobbs Sentences #90: Part II B 2 c
Paragraph 4 of 6 Sentence 2 of 3 This sentence is similar to the last one: “By 1868, the year when the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified, three-quarters of the States, 28 out of 37, had enacted statutes making abortion a crime even if it was performed before quickening.34” One claim, and it doesn’t need isolating […]
Dobbs Sentences #89: Part II B 2 c
Paragraph 4 of 6 Sentence 1 of 3 Another sentence with a single claim: “In this country during the 19th century, the vast majority of the States enacted statutes criminalizing abortion at all stages of pregnancy. See Appendix A, infra (listing state statutory provisions in chronological order).33” The claim: If you’re interested, you should check […]
