Protests Erupt Following Leak of a Supreme Court Draft Overturning Roe v. Wade
Anti-abortion and abortion rights protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court on Monday night after a report was published showing a draft of Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade.
Politico obtained a copy of the draft majority opinion in an unprecedented leak for the U.S.’s highest court. Alito’s opinion called the decision in the landmark abortion rights case “egregiously wrong.”
Soon after the report was published, barriers were erected outside the Supreme Court and hundreds gathered in protest.
