Wade
personLeaked U.S. Supreme Court decision suggests majority set to overturn Roe v. Wade. 'Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,' Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the draft opinion. The court is expected to issue its final ruling before its term is up in late June or early July.
Politico
organizationPolitico published a draft of a ruling that would overturn two landmark cases. The initial 98-page ruling leaves little room for nuance. An overturned Roe could energize abortion foes, who have been clamoring for this moment since the 1970s. Chief Justice John Roberts condemned the leak and called for an investigation into the source.
John Roberts
personDraft legal opinion reveals a majority of the court's nine judges are in agreement on the issue. Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett all voted to strike down Roe. Democrat-appointed justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan are working on dissents. Chief Justice John Roberts called the leak itself ‘egregious’ and has ordered an investigation.
Senate
organizationDraft opinion circulated among Supreme Court justices suggests that earlier this year a majority of them had thrown support behind overturning the 1973 case Roe v Wade. The prospective decision becomes an immediate flashpoint in the midterm elections. This underscores why it is impossible to pass a bill in the Senate under present circumstances to codify Roe.
Planned Parenthood
organizationA leaked draft opinion from February appears to show that a majority of the justices want to strike it down. The leak, unprecedented in court history, signals a profound shift in reproductive rights in America.

Casey'must be overruled. Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the leaked draft. He announced today an investigation will be launched into the source of the 'betrayal'
the U.S. Supreme Court
organizationDraft majority opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito and has been circulating inside the conservative-dominated court since February.

SCOTUS
organizationDraft opinion appears to show the Supreme Court is set to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade case. Chief Justice John Roberts called it a "betrayal" that the document was leaked. The opinion does not represent the court's final decision.
Supreme Court
organizationExperts fear the draft opinion leak will harm the institutional reputation of the Supreme Court. Over a dozen GOP states would immediately restrict abortion access if the decision is finalized. Democrats are worried that same-sex marriage and civil rights could be targeted next.
the US Supreme Court
organizationLeaked document suggests that the US Supreme Court is all set to overturn a decision that legalised abortion nationwide. Decision is expected in late June or early July. If the court strikes down the 1973 ruling, then abortion could be banned in almost half of US.
