Politico reports that based on a leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court Justices, they are bent on reversing the nearly 50-year-old decision of Roe vs Wade. This is huge news!
The opinion is written by Justice Alito and blasts Roe vs Wade as an erroneous decision and criticizes the claims that abortion is a constitutional right and precedent in the legal sense.
According to Politico, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is likely to reverse the landmark decision of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion nationwide in 1973.
The court has agreed to hear a challenge to a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, which is a direct violation of Roe's precedent. Many legal experts and observers believe that the conservative majority of the court will use this opportunity to overturn or severely limit Roe, effectively leaving the issue of abortion to the states. Liberals claim this would have significant implications for women's reproductive rights and healthcare access across the country.
