A leaked draft opinion suggests the U.S. Supreme Court may overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which has protected federal abortion rights for nearly five decades. The document, obtained by Politico, indicates justices could return abortion regulations to individual states, potentially eliminating the constitutional right to the procedure nationwide. Legal experts warn this shift could lead to significant restrictions or bans in many states, reshaping reproductive rights across the country. The court is expected to issue a final ruling before its term concludes.
