US Supreme Court orders investigation into abortion leak

It is common for the highest court in the United States to share drafts internally before making them public, its president highlighted, noting that it is something “routine” and “an essential part of the confidential deliberative work” of the court.

For this reason, Roberts, who stressed that the court’s employees have an “exemplary tradition” of respecting the confidentiality of the judicial process, lamented that it is a “singular and egregious” violation of this trust and an “affront to the court and the public servants” who work there.

The Supreme Court has privately voted to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, which first recognized women’s right to unrestricted abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy, a legal precedent that has been used in the country since 1973.

In a 98-page document, written by Judge Samuel Alito, the conservative majority decided to annul the historic ruling, which establishes the constitutional right to abortion, which could transform the reproductive health outlook for millions of women in the United States, according to a draft leaked by Politico.

The president of United States, Joe Bidenstressed during this day that the right to voluntary interruption of pregnancy is “fundamental” and questioned whether the Supreme Court can annul the ruling on which it is based, for the sake of both “basic justice” and legal “stability” .
