Roe decision not included among latest Supreme Court rulings<\/b>
\nAlito’s pro-life opinion reportedly remains the only one circulated in the case so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s slate of newly-released decisions and orders included deportation, criminal sentencing, and campaign finance cases, but nothing about abortion. More than two dozen previously-argued cases still await resolution.<\/p>\n

On May 2, Politico published a leaked draft of a majority opinion by conservative Justice Samuel Alito for Dobbs, which concerns Mississippi\u2019s 15-week abortion ban. The draft declares that \u201cRoe was egregiously wrong from the start,\u201d and therefore it is \u201ctime to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people\u2019s elected representatives.\u201d In response, the Court announced the draft was authentic but \u201cdoes not represent a final decision by the court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

It remains unclear whether the draft represents a final decision to overturn Roe, is a tentative decision subject to change, was prepared in anticipation of a majority to overturn, or was written in hopes of persuading Alito\u2019s colleagues to sign on. Regardless, the leak has sent shockwaves across the political spectrum, with pro-lifers tentatively rejoicing, pro-abortion politicians and activists lashing out in anger, and many speculating that the leak may have been intended to pressure judges to flip their votes, or to incite hatred and threats against them.<\/p>\n
