Supreme Court Poised to Overturn Roe, Draft Opinion Shows

the truth is, the nine justices still have to vote to determine which drafted decision will be the majority opinion.......there's probably a competing drafted opinion deciding the opposite......
 
that being said, I would be delighted if the court decided that killing children is a bad thing........long overdue........
 
“The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation’s history and traditions,” Alito writes.

Umm, no shit.
 
This effects a small percentage of the population - women of child bearing age and I suspect mostly single women.
I’d think most married couples are happy to have kids.
It also has no effect on the economy, the border, crime or foreign policy.
BUT it would be a major victory for state’s rights, which IMO is far more important.

States rights was decided in the Civil War
 
So there is no opinion yet. What’s the brouhaha about?

Drama. The court takes a preliminary vote and the Chief Justice assigns the opinion to a justice in the majority. That draft is circulated and comments and compromises made. Then, they take a final vote. Sometimes, votes may change based on the final draft opinion.
 
What I thought. So it was leaked by a clerk in the hope to influence the final vote.

It might be because journalists and officials do each other favors in return for information.

It might be to generate hysteria about the decision to mobilize the pro-abortion forces; however, individual justices are unlikely to change their vote based on public opinion.
