There's at least one bit of total nonsense in here, namely this:
> The decision that overturned Roe v. Wade is an example, she says. "The majority [opinion] relied pretty much exclusively on scholars with some ties to pro-life activism and didn't really cite anybody else even or really even acknowledge that there was a majority scholarly position or even that there was meaningful disagreement on the subject."
I read Dobbs v. Jackson in its entirety, including the dissent. This statement is not-even-wrong, in that the decision was given based on the proper limits of federal power, and whether a right to an abortion was something which could be derived from the Constitution and relevant case law. It had nothing to do with scholarly opinions on abortion at all.
Disagreeing with the decision of the court isn't license to make things up like this.
It may hold if we read that as meaning in places where the opinion cites scholars. That is, when it relies on scholars, it cites only a minority scholarly view with no mention of the majority.
And I see a handful of citations in the notes of the majority opinion that appear to be just that, though admittedly not many. Not sure if there are any others written into the body text such that they didn’t need to be footnotes.
