🚨 The Supreme Court has confirmed the authenticity of a leaked draft opinion that, if it stands, would gut the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that guaranteed the right to abortion.

📝 Chief Justice John Roberts put out a statement saying the leak of the draft opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, was a "betrayal of the confidences of the Court intended to undermine the integrity of our operations," but that it "will not succeed."

🇺🇸 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have slammed Supreme Court justices. Their joint statement read: "If the report is accurate, 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."

🗳 Biden called for codifying Roe v. Wade into law amid the reports. He also said it will "fall on voters to elect pro-choice officials this November." But codifying abortion protections into federal law is likely to be a difficult, uphill battle.
