The U.S. Supreme Court may be on the cusp of overturning 50-years of American abortion law, according to a draft opinion in a Mississippi case that was leaked to the news outlet Politico.
The draft opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, outlines ways a presumed majority of the nine justices believes the 1973 ruling inwas incorrect. If signed by a majority of the court, the ruling would eliminate the protections for abortion rights that“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,”. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.
President Joe Biden said his administration was already preparing for a potential ruling that struck down federal abortion protections. With more pro-choice members of Congress, it would be possible to pass federal legislation protection abortion rights, “which I will work to pass and sign into law.”
