A leaked draft opinion suggests the U.S. Supreme Court may be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that established federal constitutional protections for abortion rights. The document, obtained by Politico, reveals a majority of justices appear inclined to reverse the precedent, potentially returning abortion regulations to individual states. Legal experts warn such a move could trigger widespread legislative battles and deepen divisions over reproductive rights. The final ruling, expected before the court’s term ends, could reshape access to abortion across the country.
