Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““None of the fundamental rights enunciated in [the United States Supreme Court] cases involving family relationships, marriage or procreation bear any resemblance to the right asserted in this case. In addition any claim that those cases stand for the proposition that any kind of private sexual conduct between consenting adults is constitutionally insulated from state proscription is unsupportable.” Id. (citing Bowers v. Hardwick, 478 U.S. 186, 191-94 , 106 S.Ct. 2841, 2844 .46, 92 L.Ed.2d 140, 146-48 (1986)).”
