Reaction to report on U.S. Supreme Court draft abortion decision
Mon, May 2, 2022, 8:44 PM | Reuters

(Reuters) - A leaked initial draft majority opinion suggests the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide, Politico reported on Monday.

The unprecedented leak stunned Washington. It holds the potential to reshape the political landscape ahead of U.S. midterm elections in November.

Following is some reaction to the report:

U.S. HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI AND SENATE MAJORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER:

"The Republican-appointed Justices' reported votes to overturn Roe v. Wade would go down as an abomination, one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history.

"Several of these conservative Justices, who are in no way accountable to the American people, have lied to the U.S. Senate, ripped up the Constitution and defiled both precedent and the Supreme Court's reputation - all at the expense of tens of millions of women who could soon be stripped of their bodily autonomy and the constitutional rights they've relied on for half a century."

INDEPENDENT SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS:

"Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes."

FORMER U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE HILLARY CLINTON:

"This decision is a direct assault on the dignity, rights, & lives of women, not to mention decades of settled law. It will kill and subjugate women even as a vast majority of Americans think abortion should be legal. What an utter disgrace." DEMOCRATIC SENATOR ELIZABETH WARREN:

"An extremist Supreme Court is poised to overturn #RoeVWade and impose its far-right, unpopular views on the entire country. It's time for the millions who support the Constitution and abortion rights to stand up and make their voices heard. We're not going back — not ever."

REPUBLICAN TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON:

"I hope that SCOTUS returns the question of abortion where it belongs: the States. This is why I led a 24-state coalition in support of MS’s law banning them after 15 wks. I’ll con’t to ensure that TX protects the unborn & pray for the end of abortion across our nation."

REPUBLICAN SENATOR TOM COTTON:

"The Supreme Court & the DOJ must get to the bottom of this leak immediately using every investigative tool necessary. In the meantime, Roe was egregiously wrong from the beginning & I pray the Court follows the Constitution & allows the states to once again protect unborn life."

REPUBLICAN SENATOR JOSH HAWLEY:

"The left continues its assault on the Supreme Court with an unprecedented breach of confidentiality, clearly meant to intimidate. The Justices mustn't give in to this attempt to corrupt the process. Stay strong."

"I will say, if this is the Court’s opinion, it’s a heck of an opinion. Voluminously researched, tightly argued, and morally powerful."

DEMOCRATIC SENATOR AMY KLOBUCHAR:

"If nothing can get done in Washington because of Republican obstructionism, then the American people and women are going to have to vote and people who believe in choice are going to have to vote like they never voted before, because that's the only way we can change this."

DEMOCRATIC NEW YORK GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL:

"This is an absolutely disgraceful attack on our fundamental right to choose, and we will fight it with everything we've got. Let me be loud and clear: New York will always guarantee your right to abortion. You have our word."

REPUBLICAN SENATOR RICK SCOTT:

"The Supreme Court’s confidential deliberation process is sacred & protects it from political interference. This breach shows that radical Democrats are working even harder to intimidate & undermine the Court. It was always their plan. The justices cannot be swayed by this attack."

DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE AND SENATE CANDIDATE TIM RYAN

"Overturning Roe would be absolutely wrong. Not to mention catastrophic for Ohio, where Republicans have introduced one extreme proposal after another to ban abortion before most women even know they're pregnant. We must fight back. Ohioans' most fundamental rights are at stake."

DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ:

"As we've warned, SCOTUS isn't just coming for abortion - they're coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage + civil rights. Manchin is blocking Congress codifying Roe. House has seemingly forgotten about Clarence Thomas. These 2 points must change."

ABORTION RIGHTS ADVOCACY GROUP PLANNED PARENTHOOD PRESIDENT ALEXIS MCGILL JOHNSON:

"This leaked opinion is horrifying and unprecedented, and it confirms our worst fears ... While we have seen the writing on the wall for decades, it is no less devastating, and comes just as anti-abortion rights groups unveil their ultimate plan to ban abortion nationwide... (W)e will continue to fight like hell to protect the right to access safe, legal abortion."

NATIONAL WOMEN'S LAW CENTER:

"The language in the draft opinion leaked from the Supreme Court is outrageous, irresponsible and shocking. Any Justice who signs onto this opinion is fueling the harm and violence that will happen to people who become pregnant in this country."

AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION:

"If the Supreme Court does indeed issue a majority opinion along the lines of the leaked draft authored by Justice Alito, the shift in the tectonic plates of abortion rights will be as significant as any opinion the Court has ever issued."

The news is announced and almost immediately a crowd shows up at the Supreme Court with ready-made signs to protest with. Funny coincidence eh?

Dems are for a woman's right to manage her own body.

...Getting pregnant when you don't wanna have a baby is poor "management"

Quote :

Republicans want to control what a woman does to her body--

Ya think so? .. Say a woman masturbates with a dildo 6-8 times a day...they wanna control that? ..Or shove somethin over sized up there ..a gerbil up her ass or whatever..Control it? ..Let's say she doesn't wanna wipe her ass..drinks her own piss .. Republicans wanna control all that?

Instead of the false pretense of wanting "control of their bodies" they should just say what they want, which is government subsidized abortions at any time during the pregnancy that they want, which is good for Planned Parenthood as they can harvest more mature baby parts to sell

Newsmax Host Suggests Ketanji Brown Jackson, Who Isn’t On Supreme Court Yet, Leaked Draft

Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield suggested on Tuesday — without evidence or logic — that future Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson may be responsible for the leak of a draft ruling that would dismantle abortion rights.

There’s one very big problem with this theory: Jackson isn’t on the Supreme Court yet.

Nor was she on the court when it heard arguments in the case over Mississippi’s abortion restrictions. She isn’t involved in the ruling at all.

But in the flurry of speculation over who may have leaked the draft, which Politico published Monday, conservatives have singled out individuals by name even though they have no basis beyond their own speculation.

Jackson will be sworn in this summer after Justice Stephen Breyer retires. Stinchfield acknowledged that she’s not a justice yet. But he still posited that she may have hired clerks and they may have started work already. He has no evidence this is true; he’s nonetheless “sure” of it.

“I find it suspect that the first leak coming out of the Supreme Court in history comes shortly after Judge Jackson is confirmed,” Stinchfield said, as flagged by Media Matters for America’s Jason Campbell. “I want to know if her law clerks, who I am sure have already been hired, possibly even working at the high court already before her swearing in, have access to these draft decisions.”

“She would be my first suspect when it comes to the leak because Ketanji Brown Jackson is a radical left-wing activist, more radical than any other justice in the history of the Supreme Court,” he continued. “I believe she is capable of undermining the court this way.”

It’s little surprise that a conservative host would use this opportunity to go after Jackson, who will be the first Black woman on the Supreme Court in its history. During her confirmation hearings, Republicans repeatedly insisted she held radical views, simply for offenses like being a public defender, backing criminal justice reform within the mainstream and ruling like many other judges.

Along with Jackson, some conservatives have suggested that the leak came from the office of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina to serve on the Supreme Court, who similarly has been accused of holding extreme views.

The other liberal justices on the Supreme Court, who are white, have not been accused in leak speculation.

Supreme Court opinions and drafts are incredibly closely guarded, which is part of why the leak was such a shock. Typically, the justices hold a preliminary vote on which way they will go, then select one member — Justice Samuel Alito, in this instance — to write the majority opinion.

Drafts of the opinion are then circulated among the justices and their support staff. Changes are lobbied for and made, and ultimately, justices may decide to go with another ruling altogether. As of now, the ruling is not final in this case.

The process does not, however, involve sharing drafts outside the court, so if someone is going to make this claim, they need actual evidence to back it up. Whether Stinchfield believes it or not.

This article originally appeared on HuffPost and has been updated.

I wasn't aware that anyone outside of the judges themselves were privy to arguments, rulings or whatever they discuss amongst themselves, so i assumed the leak had to be from one of them .. I'm wondering why anyone besides those judges would have any knowledge of anything to leak

The left: "Mandate vaccines"
Also the left: "My body my choice"

...heh ..In the progressive, woke minds of the left, abortions now also apply to "birthing people" .. Men IOW ..Whom they now claim can menstrate and procreate .. True story

So why shouldn't we all have the right to manage our own body when it comes to getting vaccinated?

Leaked my ass, it was released because democrats have absolutely nothing else to rally up people about.

Nothing says "women's rights" like a group of old white men passing abortion bans in every one of the sister fucking states
