To say “the only reason” is short sighted. Reasons are bully juctices, fund raise off leak, rally rat voters, give justification for court packing, ...
Sadly, overturning RvW will not bring an end to abortion in this country.

The clear logic and plain language of a brilliant mind.
and of a brilliant document.
Wait till they get their brown shirts/Pantifa in the streets burning chit down.
What exactly can they do to those who vote to overturn?
an apparent draft of the majority opinion leaked to the beltway magazine
Another reason is it would take attention off of Biden’s horrible performance going into the mid terms.
This was my first thought too. An attempt to shame them into reversing their decision and save face.
Does anyone think it is odd that the SCOTUS leak would mean that the court on its own is going back to review a previous decision? My understanding is that some new case would need to be before the court that would cause it to again review a previous decision. For example the court’s separate but equal reading in Plessy vs Ferguson was overturned by another case Brown vs Board of Education. This leak is obviously a last ditch attempt to stem the Democrats bloodbath in November, but to me the whole context of the leak is wrong. I do not think the court on its own would go back to review a previous decision. Something about this smacks of fake news.
And overturning it *WILL* energize the Left like nothing else.
Ending Roe forces politicians to craft laws. They’d rather not have their names on either side of this. Roe was political cover.
Personally, I’ve always thought they take way too long to issue decisions after hearing a case. Bang: nope, the us constitution doesn’t say anything about abortions, so that means it goes to the states or to the people.
See, I issued an opinion in a matter of minutes.
Yup, a big “look squirrel”/shiny object from all the messes.
It never would have, and it still won’t. It will bring abortion back to a state’s rights issue, where it belongs.

The disloyal opposition has already succeeded once; it would not be beyond them to assassinate two or three more, whatever is necessary to revert the overturning.
Remember, in this world nothing is ever settled until it is settled the way the left wants it settled. Overturning Roe is simply an impediment to the fulfillment of their agenda, as far as they are concerned.
I will be at all surprised when we learn the FBI/DOJ ran the operation to steal the draft opinion from the SCOTUS email or file system.
Precisely, and many fickle women will follow the other lemmings.
Imagine your sole reason for voting is to be able to kill your baby.
Same chicks are mask & vaccine Karens...
There's other bleepary afoot...
