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 a majority of justices could rule that the constitutional right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the nation’s history and traditions. Legal experts warn that such a move would return abortion regulations to individual states, potentially leading to significant restrictions in many regions. The draft reflects a sharp shift in precedent with profound implications for reproductive rights across the country.
