WASHINGTON - The United States Supreme Court is poised to overturn the landmark Roe versus Wade decision protecting the constitutional right to abortion, according to a draft majority opinion circula

ted inside the court, Politico reported on Monday .

Disclosure of the draft opinion also marks an extraordinary breach of protocol for an institution that has long prided itself for being almost leak-proof. A ruling overturning Roe"would deprive half the nation of a fundamental, constitutional right that has been enjoyed by millions of women for over 50 years", American Civil Liberties Union Executive Director Anthony Romero said in a statement.

A majority of the US public has consistently supported keeping abortion legal in all or at least some cases since the mid-1970s, according to Gallup data, while only about one in five Americans say the procedure should be illegal under all circumstances.A Marquette University poll earlier this year found that 72 per cent of Americans oppose overturning the Roe v. Wade ruling.

Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, a former law clerk to Roberts on the court, tweeted that the leak was an"assault" by the left that was"clearly meant to intimidate" the court.
