The US Supreme Court may end the legal right to abortion. This information has come to light from a leaked report. Politico reports that Justice Samuel Alito wrote in a 98-page draft document that the 1973 Roe v Wade decision on abortion rights was grossly incorrect. It’s been told wrong from the beginning.
Will abortion be banned?
Justice Alito also reportedly wrote that Roe v Wade’s argument was extraordinarily weak and had harmful consequences. It has been said that the right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the history and traditions of the nation and is the opinion of the conservatives. According to Politico, a leaked preliminary draft majority opinion shows that the court has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. According to reports, the court may give its verdict on this matter in early July.
Protest started after leaked document
The protesters are protesting over the leaked document. The women are protesting with placards like ‘Ban on my body’, ‘Women’s rights’, ‘Women’s human rights’, ‘My body, my choice’. Abortion rights supporters are continuously demonstrating in front of the court.
American opinion is divided on abortion
Abortion is one of the most complicated issues in American politics. A 2021 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 59 percent of American adults believed it should be legal in all or most cases, while 39 said it should be illegal in most or all cases.
