BREAKING: White House releases statement after Politico report on leaked SCOTUS draft opinion suggests high court could overturn Roe v Wade; read it here
A Supreme Court abortion ruling is due this summer, but Politico reported a draft of that ruling would overturn Roe v. Wade and let states criminalize abortion againThe White House released a statement from President Joe Biden Tuesday regarding a bombshell report from Politico that indicated the U.S. Supreme CourtThe leaked draft opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito, Politico reported.
With that critical caveat, I want to be clear on three points about the cases before the Supreme Court.Roe is based on “a long line of precedent recognizing ‘the Fourteenth Amendment’s concept of personal liberty’… against government interference with intensely personal decisions.” I believe that a woman’s right to choose is fundamental,has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned.
Second, shortly after the enactment of Texas law SB 8 and other laws restricting women’s reproductive rights, I directed my Gender Policy Council and White House Counsel’s Office to prepare options for an Administration response to the continued attack on abortion and reproductive rights, under a variety of possible outcomes in the cases pending before the Supreme Court. We will be ready when any ruling is issued.
