Activists and pendants are expecting for a ruling handed down this summer. It has not been formally issued by the court. However, and this is what is the most important: The draft opinion leaked last night is not law. The decision, when it goes into effect, would give states the right to restrict abortion access or deny it completely. Casey, which upheld the central tenet of Roe but allowed states to restrict access as long as they did not place “an undue burden” on people seeking abortions. Wade, as well as another case, Planned Parenthood v. In unambiguous language, the opinion overturns Roe v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which is about a Mississippi law banning abortion at 15 weeks. It’s drafted majority decision to the case Dobbs v. The document, which was written by Justice Samuel Alito, was first reported on last night by Politico. Last night I went through waves of panic, just trying to have a grasp on it. Wade - the famous 1973 decision that guarantees the legal right to an abortion - has absolutely ripped through the hearts and minds of everyone I know (and probably everyone that you know, too). Last night, a leaked draft of a Supreme Court decisionoverturning Roe v. Because we all knew it was coming right? We all knew that the end game has always been Roe v.
