The US Supreme Court today confirmed that the internal document announcing the end of the right to abortion is authentic, but stressed that it does not represent the “final” decision of the court.
The draft opinion was leaked on Monday and published by the newsletter Politico website.
In his statement, the head of the Court, Judge John Roberts, stressed that he “ordered an investigation” into the leak. The draft seems to herald the return of the United States to the state it was 50 years ago, when each state was free to decide whether to allow or ban abortions.
US President Joe Biden has warned that the Supreme Court ruling, if it is finally in line with the draft, could call into question a number of other rights, such as the right to contraception or same-sex marriage.
Speaking to reporters waiting for him to board the plane for his trip to Alabama, the Democratic president said he thought “all American privacy decisions” could be challenged if the Supreme Court overturned the ruling. of 1973 on abortions.
