The Partially Examined Life Philosophy Podcast
00:00
Introduction
Partially Examined Life is a podcast by some guys who are at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Our question for episode 306 is something like, how should judges interpret the language of law? Or more specifically, does the United States Constitution guarantee the right to abortion? When we read the 2021 court decision, Dab is V. Jackson Women's Health Organization, and the entire dissent by Breyer Sotomayor and Kagan, plus Ronald Dorkin's 1992 article, Uninumerated Rights, Weather and How Rose Should Be Overruled.
