A leaked draft opinion suggests the U.S. Supreme Court may be poised to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which has protected federal abortion rights for nearly five decades. The document, obtained by Politico, indicates justices are considering reversing the 1973 ruling that established a constitutional right to abortion, potentially returning the issue to individual states. Legal experts warn the move could trigger widespread restrictions or bans in many regions, reshaping reproductive rights across the country. The draft, however, is not final, and the court’s decision remains uncertain as justices continue deliberations.
