The Supreme Court is poised to strike down the right to abortion in the US, according to a leaked draft of a majority opinion that would shred nearly 50 years of constitutional protections. The draft, obtained by Politico, was written by Justice Samuel Alito, and has been circulated inside the conservative-dominated court, the news outlet reported. Politico stressed that the document it obtained is a draft and opinions could change. The court is expected to issue a decision by June. The draft opinion calls the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade decision "egregiously wrong from the start."STEFANI REYNOLDS, AFP Via Getty ImagesAbortion-rights activists rally outside of the Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.Megan Smith, USA TODAYAbortion-rights activists rally outside of the Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.Megan Smith, USA TODAYAn abortion-rights supporter holds a sign outside of the Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.Kevin Dietsch, Getty ImagesAbortion-rights activists rally outside of the U.S. Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.Megan Smith, USA TODAYAbortion-rights activists rally outside of the U.S. Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.Kevin Dietsch, Getty ImagesAn abortion-rights supporter holds a sign outside of the U.S. Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.Megan Smith, USA TODAYAbortion-rights activists gather at the US Supreme Court in Washington, on May 2, 2022STEFANI REYNOLDS, AFP Via Getty ImagesAbortion rights supporters and anti-abortion activists rally outside the Supreme Court on May 2.STEFANI REYNOLDS/AFP Via Getty ImagesAn abortion-rights supporter hold a sign outside of the Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.Kevin Dietsch, Getty ImagesAbortion-rights supporters hold a sign outside of the Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.Megan Smith, USA TODAYActivists rally outside of the Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.Kevin Dietsch, Getty ImagesActivists rally outside of the Supreme Court on May 02, 2022.STEFANI REYNOLDS, AFP Via Getty ImagesA women cries while kneeling in front of the Supreme Court in Washington, on May 2, 2022.STEFANI REYNOLDS, AFP Via Getty ImagesFeatured Weekly Ad
