Leaked draft opinion signals Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade

The Supreme Court is undoing Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case that led to the creation of a constitutional right to abortion, according to a leaked draft majority opinion.

The document, obtained by Politico, is for the case known as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and references the 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey as well as Roe. The ruling asserts that “the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives.”
