Prominent Democrats reacted with horror to the Monday night leak of a draft Supreme Court opinion that, if adopted, would overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion on a national level.
The draft Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health opinion, which upholds Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban, was written on February 10 by Justice Samuel Alito, with Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, Barrett and Kavanaugh concurring. Chief Justice John Roberts does not plan to join the majority in overturning Roe, CNN reported.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution makes no reference, and no such right is implicitly protected

Sorry butt wipes, but no where in the Constitution does it say killing babies is ok...on the other hand it does mention life and liberty....

No - going back to what the Constitution actually says. The Roe decision was a purely political one, and the "right" was invented from thin air by political hacks wearing black robes who were entirely uninterested in the Constitution, and only interested in 'putting this out of reach' of the ELECTED branches of government.
Thuggery of the most murderous kind. And 50 to 60 million babies have died for their political convenience. They really are anti-human.

Abortion is not a Constitutional issue. There is nothing in the document that talks about healthcare. The issue should be decided by the individual states. Nobody is losing anything. Just another flame throwing tactic by the left. Time to take them out. They are dangerous.

Roe vs. Wade is a perfect example of the Supreme Court illegally making law. Obamacare is another one.

If you notice the hysteria is all on the Left, and generally from states where abortion has been legal even prior to the Roe decision (NY, WA, HI and Alaska), or states that have enacted laws within their state constitution to ensure abortion will remain legal (MA, CA, IL).
I would seem that people will quickly realize most people, particularly in "blue" states, don't see any change, and then realize they've been lied to for decades. Some who vote for that single issue may find they can vote how they want instead now.
If GOP was smart they'd make sure people realize these things, and in particular how the 15 week ban is very much in-line with most of the European countries, some of whom have even stricter restrictions.

The Democrats purposely conflate two separate issues: One, should abortion be legal, and two, what does the Constitution say on the matter. By doing so on an issue like abortion, they are purposely trying to undermine the Constitution. That's treasonous.

the demcommies knew this was coming and have been using the time to cause other barn fires to throw the attention off this and with a willing press to support them their way is clear to do any illegal thing they want to do - I never, ever thought we would ever see our country so blatantly out of control and the election of Donald J. Trump just accelerated their plans - we must bring him back to establish the opposing forces against the demcommies

When you see the smoke from Democrat hair fires you know we're on the right path.

Democrats argue for a "living Constitution" unless their desired objectives are threatened.
Democrats argue for "the right to privacy" but apparently do not respect the privacy of Supreme Court deliberations.
Such self-serving, elitist hypocrisy is simply destructive of a civil discourse.

How about making Liberals show us whose Constitution was "ripped up"?
With apologies to #1, and others, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is another thing not found in the Constitution. It's from the Declaration of Independence. Please get that straight, already.

The dems are making it sound like overturning Roe v Wade returns the country to back-alley abortions and women forced to carry their babies to term. That's not the case. About 30 of the state legislatures will outlaw abortion while 15 to 20 states will explicitly allow abortion, some right up to the moment of birth. That means that the women residing in non-abortion states who wish to abort must catch a bus or flight to another jurisdiction to have the abortion performed. Planned Parenthood can, and certainly will, fund that travel from its donations.
Most every thinking person acknowledges this. The real question is, who leaked this decision and what damage has that done to the trust among the justices of the court? It's easy to imagine that the wide Latina is somehow involved here. She likely required an accomplice to get the job done, and it may be her clerk, as suspicioned by some already.

No surprise as the Democrats always can be counted on to overreach in whatever they say or attempt to do.

It's fake. The whole leak is to allow protestors time to scare the justices into changing their votes to assure no overturn.

You want horror? Go watch a partial birth abortion. Then you will know what horrified means.
