The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/i>\u00a0decision, according to an\u00a0initial draft majority opinion<\/a>\u00a0written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013\u00a0Planned Parenthood v. Casey<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 that largely maintained the right. \u201cRoe<\/i>\u00a0was egregiously wrong from the start,\u201d Alito writes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hold that\u00a0Roe<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Casey<\/i>\u00a0must be overruled,\u201d he writes in the document, labeled as the \u201cOpinion of the Court.\u201d \u201cIt is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people\u2019s elected representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
