Semi-protected edit request on 1 July 2022

The following must be added to the introduction to make it complete:

"In 2022, Roe v. Wade was overturned in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, ending federal abortion rights and allowing individual states to regulate their own abortion laws."

This is cited by the Wikipedia article on "Abortion Laws in the United States" reference [16]. Otherwise, this article is merely false information and propaganda. Thank you for keeping Wikipedia up to date on the most current factual information. 108.227.23.21 (talk) 23:16, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: This is already covered at length in the lead. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 23:28, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Per above, note that the whole last paragraph of the lead addresses this beginning with, On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overruled Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.... It also shows up in the infobox under a bright red heading. Please clarify if there is any specific information that needs to be changed, added, or removed from that paragraph and re-open if appropriate. You may also find the edit request guidelines helpful in making clarifications if needed. --N8wilson 🔔 23:34, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Conferred" vs "Granted"

@IrishLas You changed the language of the sentence from "granted" to "conferred", asserting that the word is hard to understand for those without a law degree. In addition, you stated that my reversion of your edit was "condescending". To avoid violating 3RR, it would be best to discuss the change here.

I don't believe anything in my original reversion was in any way "condescending," and I certainly did not intend it to be so. In fact, as I mentioned, the word "conferred" is also used to describe Roe vs. Wade in legal text (e.g. it is used as such in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization on its very first page ) in addition to being just a general term in the English language. Partly the reason why I reverted your edit was because of uniformity, since the page for Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization uses "confer" aswell. As a non-lawyer myself, I found no issue with "conferred" in either the pages. GuardianH (talk) 22:51, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are 100% correct! Thank you for comments. You believed correctly. Sheesh, I was the one being condescending, so I'm sorry, very sorry for using that word describing you and/or your actions. Again, I'm truly sorry. TBH, I didn't know the meaning of "conferred" and I'm concidered "pretty smart" by my professor, and my parents as well :p I pretty much lacked tact for sure. I'm so sorry, my excuse is lack of sleep, though an excuse is an excuse and is me being an arse. I'm sorry. So please forgive me. IrishLas (talk) 22:25, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
