(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court is undoing Roe v. Wade, a landmark 1973 case that led to the creation of a constitutional right to have an 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.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Justice Samuel Alito said in the opinion, which was circulated within the court.
“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” he added. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
