A leaked draft opinion suggests the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn its landmark 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which established a constitutional right to abortion nationwide. The document, obtained by Politico, reveals justices considering ending federal protections that have shaped reproductive rights for nearly five decades. Legal experts warn the ruling could return abortion regulations to individual states, potentially restricting access in many regions. The draft, though subject to change, signals a major shift in the court’s approach to one of America’s most contentious social issues.
