Abortion rights in the US could become severely restricted, a leaked Supreme Court document reveals, sending shockwaves around the country.
According to a draft decision published in full by Politico on Monday evening, the highest court in the US has voted to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion.
The landmark ruling in 1973 provided women with the absolute right to abortion in the first trimester and limited rights in the second. A 1992 ruling – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – upheld the rights.
Now a majority of the Supreme Court appears to be leaning towards overturning both decisions and returning “the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
“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,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in a draft majority opinion.
