The political shockwaves of a high court opinion -- a draft of which leaked Monday in an exceedingly rare event -- are expected to reverberate through US politics for months, especially with midterm elections set for November.

Trump himself barely touched on the subject in a rally held under torrential rains in the city of Greensburg.

But as he flirts more and more openly with the possibility of seeking a new term as president in 2024, the subject seemed to be on the lips of all his supporters.

If you climb a mountain and smash the eggs of a bald eagle, then that is a felony-go to prison. Eggs are not eagles. Babies in the womb not humans?
