The Supreme Court appears poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that legalized abortion nationwide, according to an unprecedented leak of a draft opinion.
The majority opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito and leaked to Politico in an extraordinary breach of Supreme Court procedure that immediately sparked political outrage and protests outside the court.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes in the 98-page first draft labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.”
The right to have an abortion up until around 23 or 24 weeks, has been federally protected under the Constitution since the Roe v. Wade decision 49 years ago in 1973.
