LINK Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows - POLITICO

I TOLD YOU
"Draft Opinion" Leaked
The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.

The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes.

“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

A lot of things aren't covered in the constitution. This draft, as it is, paves the way for more giant steps backward. It's very sad that our supreme court doesn't reflect the feelings of the actual majority of the citizens of the country. This is dangerous for women. Nobody wants to have an abortion, but the choice to have a safe legal one, instead a dangerous illegal one, which will happen, should be protected.
