A leaked draft of a major U.S. Supreme Court decision signals a potential reversal of nearly five decades of constitutional protections for abortion nationwide. The document, obtained by Politico, reveals justices appear poised to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, returning authority over abortion laws to individual states. Legal experts warn the ruling could trigger immediate bans in roughly half the states, reshaping reproductive rights and access to care across the country. The draft, attributed to Justice Samuel Alito, suggests the court may issue its final decision ahead of the midterm elections, adding urgency to the debate.
