The Supreme Court on Tuesday verified that a leaked draft opinion published by Politico in the most important abortion case in decades was an authentic document but pushed back on the notion that it represented the final decision of the court.
RELATED: Roe v. Wade protests outside Supreme Court after reported leak of draft opinion
Lawmakers and congressional candidates wasted little time Monday reacting to the news of a draft Supreme Court opinion published by Politico suggesting the court is considering a decision that would overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a constitutional right to abortion.
The issue of abortion was already a hot-button issue in key races across the country in advance of November's mid-term elections.
But the report that the high court was potentially closer to reversing the nearly 50-year-old ruling – and letting states decide what abortion restrictions to enact – sparked outrage from progressives and cheers from conservatives running in state and federal elections nationwide.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., issued a joint statement saying "the Supreme Court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past fifty years – not just on women but on all Americans," if the report is accurate.

Hopefully everybody learns from this—do not use the Supreme Court to change law to get what you want. Had pro-choice advocates chosen to fight for this through the normal democratic means (as opposed to legislating undemocratically/unconstitutionally from the Judicial) then the Supreme Court could not just undo it. Fight to change the law democratically, and then constitutionally if you want it resting on a secure foundation.
Overturn Roe V. Wade!
None of these people’s parents chose abortion.
Exactly, they chose to carry a baby to term. No woman should be forced to carry out a pregnancy, and the stress alone would lead to miscarriages, not to mention suicides and death by botched abortions.
@Fiza. Just don’t get pregnant
You don’t look in danger.
You should have stayed home.
It ain’t legal precedent now.
pay your child support before arguing
We can see how it’s working out in Hollywood.
The right to work in a garden.
Bring it on!

Praise the Lord !!
Crazzy
What a wonderful day for humanity!!!
Dark day in America but the light will shine bright for these beautiful babies. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Republicans in America are mostly Christian Characters. A Christian Character has a Godly conscience, God sees all.
Americans are Conservatives.
All Christians are Conservatives. Some Conservatives are not Christian Characters, but are to smart not to side against Conservatives, when it comes time to vote Republican.
Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine did not put Christian Church before the atheist States, when writing the Constitutional Republic of America. For this reason, Democracy thrives, at the cost of reshaping the Constitutional Republic of America. One Example, is President Biden attacking the Second amendment and somehow getting away with illegal mandates.
Democracy means everyone votes. Democracy has been eroding The Christian Nation of America, for 200 years. Now more than ever. Communist are voted into American Power.
The leaders of Democracy are Nancy Oligarchy Pelosi, Chuck Oligarchy Schumer, President Tyrant Biden and Communist China. Democracy is destroying America.
America is not a Democracy.
America is a Constitutional Republic.
The Constitution needs to amend so, Democracy will not prevail. Democracy was invented by Greeks in Athens, Greece year 503 B.C. Democracy is foreign government.
It makes no sense to let enemies vote to attack the Constitutional Republic of America.
Republican leaders must Amend the Constitutional Republic of America, to strengthen it. Only Republicans should be allowed to vote and all Representatives must be replaced with Conservatives. Americans must rule America.
Christianity is sanity for humanity. In God We Trust. Gods’ rule of America is not a Dictatorship because Christians encourage free thinking, free will, human rights, free speech and endless opportunities for all future generations.
You might not like the rules but, the rules are good for all. God wants us to respect and value life therefore, Abortion Rights is not supported and not pandered to by a Christian society.
There comes a point in America when you must choose to love it, or leave, take it over, or fight for it.
President Biden has betrayed the Declaration of Independence by using illegal mandates, supported by the propaganda of the CDC.
Declaration of Independence states: ” A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. ”
You cannot mandate free people, blackmail free people with fear-mongering propaganda.
President Biden overstepped the Declaration of Independence. Title 42 has nothing to do with illegal mandates forced of free thinking people and children. People and children that never been outside the country.
President Biden forced mandates on American people, that is Tyrant behavior.
Tyrant behavior is illegal in a Free country. President Trump would have never mandated vaccines and mask with blackmail of your Job.
President Biden needs to be dethroned. This is America, not a Kingdom Monarchy rule, like England and Australia.
(Christianity is not a religion. God is the creator. Christianity is Gods’ Divine Philosophy for humanity and Gods’ Good Army.
Republicans are not insurrectionists, so Republicans will have to organize a Revolutionary Civil War. The war might kick off, when Republican leaders force the Amendments to the Constitutional Republic of America, which would effectively remove all Democrats and replaced with Republicans.
Republican leaders will have to strongly unite, to oppose the Democrat political power.
My concern is authentic Republicans, loyal as the best of us, are not knowing the Constitutional Republic of America needs Amending, to be preserved and strengthened.)
If money is equivalent to strength in a person then, letting those with money rule others, is monkey tyranny of government. An oligarchy.
In contrast,
“We the People” government rule with high morals of free thinking and truth. God is strength. In God We Trust.
Amen
God is not a religion. God is Truth, the Way and Life. Christianity is Gods’Divine Philosophy for Humanity. Christianity is sanity. Love America is sanity for humanity.
Righteous is top of natural selection ideologies. God is top of the Food chain.
President Trump is a humane being.
Under President Trump. No Ukraine war, Ukrainian lives saved and 800 million dollars saved.
Righteous American Freedom under God, is Gods’ domain. Absolute Freedom is without Gods’ standards of decency. Absolute freedom leads to perverted tyrannical rulers.
Righteous American Freedom under God is not about doing what you want, It is about having the freedom to live as righteous as humanly possible.
I’m sure you’re a real popular person lol
Wrote a whole article 🤣
I bet that new justice said something about it. First black “female” justice and “first” leak?? 🤔🤔

We are deeply concerned regarding the human rights violation in the United States of America and constantly monitoring the worsening situation. The Biden administration is expected to do better. 🙏🏽🇮🇳
