A reported draft of a 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court decision in a Mississippi abortion case (Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization) suggest the Supreme Court voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, which made abortion a federally protected right, the New American website reports today (May 4, 2022).
The alleged leak to the media of the Supreme Court vote is seen by some conservative observers as a crude attempt by a justice to pressure the pro-life justices to change their vote in favor of abortion.
The text of the draft was published by "Politico" journal on May 2. "Politico" described the decision as a "full-throated unflinching repudiation" of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which established abortion as a constitutionally protected right.
