Roe V. Wade Leaked Draft is Authentic

Chief Justice John Roberts called the leak an “egregious breach” of the court’s trust.

(Washington, DC) — The Supreme Court is confirming a leaked draft of a decision overturning Roe v Wade is authentic. In a statement, the Court was careful to note “it does not represent a decision by the Court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case.” The question in front of the court now is whether a Mississippi law banning most abortion after 15 weeks is constitutional.

Chief Justice John Roberts called the leak an “egregious breach” of the court’s trust. An investigation is being launched to determine where the leak originated. Despite all that, Roberts said the draft decision being published by Politico won’t affect the court’s work.
