A draft decision indicates that the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to overturn the controversial Roe v. Wade decision that established abortion rights in 1973.
The initial draft majority opinion was obtained by Politico and published on Monday. (SEE: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473)
The draft is written by Justice Samuel Alito and was reportedly circulated inside the court.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes, referring to a separate decision that defended abortion rights. The leak of a draft opinion is unprecedented in the modern history of the Supreme Court.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division," Alito continued.
"It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives," he adds. The draft decision is related to a challenge against the abortion decision by a Mississippi pro-life law.
“The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions,” Alito concludes. "On the contrary, an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of the common law until 1973."

This is real. This is pure Alito. That’s exactly how he writes.
This was leaked because some lefty/feminazi/lesbian clerk of one of the liberal justices decided they were going to “save abortion” by leaking this and hoping that the ensuing firestorm will cause a Kav or a Barrett to back off.
I believe that is a correct assessment of the situation.
Exactly.
Stir up the troops, to alleviate a potential tsunami that most conventional wisdom says is coming in November against Democrats
No, “vacated” is used all the time.
Leaked draft decision - never heard of it happening, until today. Fake news until proven otherwise imo
This is an assault on the upcoming election. Pure politics and nothing more. I hope the court knows the leaker and puts them in jail forever!
“The Court doesn’t leak draft opinions.”
There’s a couple of lefties on the court that would have NO ISSUE leaking this draft.
That’s what I meant - they would say “vacated” rather than “overruled.”
All this will do is return to the pre Roe state where it will be outlawed in some states, legal in the others.
Babies will still be butchered.
Mr Soros, where do you want this load of bricks delivered? Popcorn time coming again soon.

You just knew that the communists that infest the SCOTUS facility would pull this crap...
They are simply getting ahead of the game and beginning a propaganda offensive to dismantle or “reform” the SCOTUS...
My bet is that Roberts will roll over and spread his legs...
I’d begin applying garage-door pull-downs to any “new” communist member of the court who may have been appointed before there was a vacancy, but was granted physical presence in the SCOTUS premises...
Fortunately, we have the magnificent FBI (our own special keystone cops) to step in and find the miscreant ASAP...
Wow! The SCOTUS overturning the RAT decision that it’s okay to murder babies.
I’m liking Breyer for this. He’s leaving the playing field in a matter of weeks - and at worst, he takes one for his team. I WOULD START LOOKING AT HIS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES AND THOSE OF HIS STAFF.
RBG… Rolling in her grave…. If only she had resigned while Barry was in office… Instead of stubbornly waiting for Hillary to be elected President to appoint her successor. Too funny.
Some democrat piece of filth leaked from the Supreme Court.
The last group with some integrity in DC...
I’m guessing democrats figured out Roe is a way to get their voters out. Suburban women are necessary for the human filth - white liberal ‘elites’ to get reelected.
So democrats were willing to compromise the integrity of the Supreme Court.
We can, it this is clearly fake news that may ultimately prove true.
They’re just trying to start a public uprising with stuff made from whole clothe.
The one “brave” secretary or whoever theory is believable. Taking one for the team so that the team knows. If true, this is going to spark violence. Not a threat, just what I bet will happen.
