This week we’re going to be talking about the possibility of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. The draft opinion that was leaked indicates that the Supreme Court may be ready to strike down the ruling that gave federal protections to the practice of abortion. What if this, in fact, does happen? We’re going to consider that question in this episode.
STORY – 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.’” (Politico)
