UT law professor Liz Sepper cautioned against certainty in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court leak, reiterating that this draft, dated Feb. 10, may not reflect the current or final opinion of the court.

According toobtained by Politico, the U.S. Supreme Court intends to overturn Roe v. Wade, reversing nearly 50 years of constitutional protection for abortion, and let states set their own restrictions on the procedure.

The case before the U.S. Supreme Court centers on a ban in Mississippi on abortions after 15 weeks. Since the 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, the court has consistently struck down bans on abortion before viability, the point at which a fetus could likely survive outside the womb, usually seen as 22 to 24 weeks of pregnancy. The 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey upheld Roe v.

The state hasof pregnancy through a unique civil enforcement mechanism that has, so far, withstood judicial review. Abortion opponents in Texas are cautiously optimistic about the release of this draft ruling.

dakota_girl495 Oh and the coup doesn't mean Americans are trying to overthrow The United States of America even if it means violent deadly attacks against fellow citizens. 🙄

Striking Roe down has been the wet dream for decades, close to certainty this is the way it will land. Get ready cuz it won’t be the last thing either...

But based on the oral arguments of the case in December, Sepper said it wasn't surprising to see several of the justices endorsing this full-throated rejection of Roe v. Wade.
