Insane news coming out of the Supreme Court via a leaked document first released by Politico says the highest court in the land has voted to overturn Roe v Wade.

An initial draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by Politico reveals that the Supreme Court has voted to overturn the landmark abortion ruling Roe v Wade.

According to that outlet, the opinion is a “full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision,” which made abortion legal across the country. The legality of abortion was further upheld in a 1992 decision, known as Casey.

It was the law out of Mississippi that was challenged in the high court.

Part of that draft ruling states that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division.”

A source said that Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett had voted in the majority with Alito after December’s oral arguments, and as the court was set to reach a decision, that remained the same.

According to the draft Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Breyer were all opposed to overturning the ruling.

Politico states that the opinion is 98 pages long, still in draft form, and backs Mississippi’s right to make abortion illegal in the state.

“The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions,” stated Alito in the draft per Politico.

“The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion,” Alito wrote in conclusion. “Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”

Keep in mind this is still in draft form and could change, but it’s shocking and stunning that this was leaked which goes against well over 150 years of Supreme Court secrecy and standards.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
