POLITICO: Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows

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.”
Deliberations on controversial cases have in the past been fluid. Justices can and sometimes do change their votes as draft opinions circulate and major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before a decision is unveiled. The court’s holding will not be final until it is published, likely in the next two months.
The immediate impact of the ruling as drafted in February would be to end a half-century guarantee of federal constitutional protection of abortion rights and allow each state to decide whether to restrict or ban abortion. It’s unclear if there have been subsequent changes to the draft.
No draft decision in the modern history of the court has been disclosed publicly while a case was still pending. The unprecedented revelation is bound to intensify the debate over what was already the most controversial case on the docket this term.
The draft opinion offers an extraordinary window into the justices’ deliberations in one of the most consequential cases before the court in the last five decades. Some court-watchers predicted that the conservative majority would slice away at abortion rights without flatly overturning a 49-year-old precedent. The draft shows that the court is looking to reject Roe’s logic and legal protections.

They better investigate which justice leaked this. We can’t continue to have institution Infiltrated by people that have no consideration for the law. Heads need to roll and and there has to start being accountability.

This is God proving his victory and righteous

Looks like Trump won the biggest prize for conservatives since…honestly I don’t even know. Overturning Wade has been the unattainable for longer than I’ve been alive.

Bingo. God gave us Trump to put an end to this.

Liberals are great at going after people personally to change their behavior. It's going to be hard on some of those justices the nest few months until their votes are finalized.

10 bucks says the Wise Latina or one of her clerks leaked this

We should pump the brakes. That's why this was leaked. Have riots and cow Justices into changing their votes.

One of the Libs was a yes vote to overturn. That's why this was leaked. Politico can't escape blame from this either.

Pro-lifers are actually just pro-birthers. The majority of abortions are minorities. Most pro-birthers dont give a crap about minorities once they are born. But hey, an added benefit to banning abortions will be many more future Democrats. Yay!

Blacks have suffered greatly because of the "help" of Democrats.
