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.”

wow....if true. It's Politico, soooo.
Baaad precedent that SC is starting to do the partisan leak thing though. I'm guessing it came from the "Dem" side as usual

This was a draft leaked to the media and is by no means a final ruling. Whoever did this is an unethical partisan hack who should be immediately disbarred.

This was leaked, IMO, to apply pressure - big pressure and threats, intimidation, and the kitchen sink to the majority. Abortion is a sacrament to these evil leftists.

Fake! There’s an election coming up and the dims need to get their followers into an angry frenzy. This would reliably do it.

If true, leftist baby killers will lament the loss of their most cherished religious sacrament....human sacrifice.

Listen to Dershowitz on this. He claims it’s some rabid leftist who is willing to risk his/her individual job by becoming a hero for the greater societal good. The 3 immediate goals would be to intimidate Roberts into changing his vote, to try to activate liberals to pack the court, or to completely change the midterm discussion from a failed economy to the emotionally charged women’s rights, the timing is perfect for leftists to start chaining themselves to each other at the SC. EXPECT 24/7 coverage for months.

This was leaked purposefully so the dems will win in Nov. I don’t think abortion should be used as birth control but I also think the Federal Govt should stay out of it. Shows how afraid the dems are for Nov. They are pulling out all stops because they can’t cheat enough. There will be a lot more lives lost if the dems win in Nov.

Someone leaked a draft opinion? Hmmm. Sounds eerily similar when the SCOTUS vote to repeal Obamacare was leaked. It was standing at 5-4 to strike it down in its entirety. Justice Anthony Kennedy was assumed to be the swing vote at the time. He voted to strike it down. But then at the last minute Chief Justice Roberts reversed his vote and then inserted language in the 'majority' opinion to restructure Obamacare as a 'tax', thereby ruling the law as 'constitutional'.
And here we are. History not necessarily repeating but sure as hell rhyming again. Someone leaks the decision on a pivotal SCOTUS case in order to intimidate a Justice (Kavanaugh or Barrett) to reverse their vote.

This should be very concerning to everyone. A leak from the SC is virtually unheard of regarding such a major decision, especially one that will have tremendous ramifications. This may be an attempt to kick a hornet's nest to stir up reaction and turnout to support 1) Packing the court 2) A summer of riots and protests going into the midterms. The point being is that something this major is not done without a plan. We may see a slew of EOs written in the next few days to counter this and drum up support for the midterms.

Good, but the loons are already protesting and showing their blue colors. Of course they have nothing else to do, but protest. Work is out of the question.

Leaks from the Supreme Court. The left will stop at nothing to get what they want. They are the biggest threat to our form of government.

Leaked on purpose to stir up the unwary. One article nudged toward a person in Sotomayor's office. All we can be certain of is it was meant for the harm of all; mainly the Unborn.

The Left is Sad, Sick, and Evil. Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— (Philippians 4:8); they hate it. They are fixated on so very much evil but seem to be concentrated on our Children. If they cannot kill them, they wish to pervert them. The Left is the enemy of God and His People. Pray God will crush them under His Feet.

Not an abortion ban. The states will be able to handle abortion on their own.

Who leaked it? Dan Rather? This reeks of Dem disinformation to whip up primary support for far left fascist candidates.

Abortion is NOT a right, it is MURDER, PERIOD!
If women don't want to get pregnant, have the operation and fix yourself!

I’ve been praying a daily rosary for this! First Twitter no longer being a tool for propaganda and now men and women won’t be able to slaughter their children forcing them to make sexually responsible choices. What a time to be alive.
