The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.

The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

Win for states rights.

Loss for the welfare budget and whatever poor kids end up being born because their dead beat parents couldn't afford to drive to another state yet insist on raising them in a horrible environment

When the hippies start to riot, who thinks they will be treated like the Jan 6 protesters?

From Reddit

SCOTUSblog has confirmed the leak to be a legitimate draft from Justice Alito. This draft opinion would overturn Roe vs Wade and set women's reproductive rights back 50 years.

If the Court follows through on this opinion, then it is stripping women of their right to bodily autonomy. It is reprehensible and it will hit poor women, young women, women of color, and trans men the hardest.

As we all digest this news and the horror that it represents for millions of American women, I'd like to direct you to some organizations that are on the frontlines of fighting for women's rights. Please consider giving your time, money, and energy to the following organizations:

Planned Parenthood

Center for Reproductive Rights

NARAL Pro-Choice America

ACLU

 

And as always, please abide by our rules and keep your comments civil.

The leak of this draft is damaging to what little faith remained in the judicial branch of government. But the same folks who scream the loudest about election fraud claims being damaging to this country will call the leaker a hero.

The leaker, whether a justice or his/her clerk, needs to be violated with extreme prejudice.

How can abortion be a women’s rights issue when men can get pregnant now?
