Supreme Court Leak: What the End of Roe V. Wade Could Mean for Women’s Health
In a leak draft opinion published by Politco on Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, a landmark decision that gave women guaranteed access to abortion almost 50 years ago.
The unprecedented leak was written by Justice Samuel Alito, who writes in the draft that the issue was wrongly decided, adding that it should have been decided by states, not the courts. If this change in law were to occur, it essentially means that abortion rights would go along party lines.
