Are they really going to allow women to die on the table because they won’t allow an abortion which would save her life? I mean, really, no one would do that. And they wouldn’t do that. And there’ll be dozens of questions like that.

— Retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer told the New York Times some of the problems with the majority’s decision in the Dobbs case while promoting his new book,“Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism, Not Textualism,” out March 26th. The book notes that issues surrounding reproductive freedom are likely to appear in court again, “The Dobbs majority’s hope that legislatures and not courts will decide the abortion question will not be realized,” he wrote.
