The US Supreme Court is on the verge of overturning abortion rights, according to a report.

This came from a leaked draft of the judges' majority opinion, which news site Politico reported Monday night.

In the draft, written by conservative judge Samuel Alito, the landmark decision "Roe v.

Wade” in 1973, which codified abortion rights, as “egregiously wrong from the start”.

The Conservatives dominate the Supreme Court. According to the draft, the verdict should be "overturned" along with another court decision on abortion ("Planned Parenthood v. Casey") and "the question of abortion should be returned to the elected representatives of the people".

Abortion rights are "not deeply rooted in the history and traditions of the nation," Alito wrote.

1973 decision

In "Roe v.

Wade, the Supreme Court ruled that access to abortion is a constitutional right of every woman.

In Planned Parenthood v.

Casey” the court guaranteed in 1992 the right to an abortion until the fetus is viable outside the womb.

This is usually the case in the 22nd to 24th week of pregnancy.

Politico reported from inside sources that four other Conservative justices -- Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett -- wanted to vote with Alito.

The court's three liberal judges worked on a dissenting opinion.

Accordingly, it is not known how Chief Justice John Roberts will ultimately vote.

Conservative states want strict rules

A decision by the constitutional judges is expected in June.

Several conservative-governed states have already passed tougher abortion laws in anticipation of the Supreme Court decision.

In Texas, the so-called heartbeat law came into force last September, which bans abortions from about the sixth week of pregnancy.

Planned Parenthood, which operates abortion clinics nationwide, called the draft report "outrageous" but noted it was "not definitive."

"While abortion is still legal, today's report makes it clear that our deepest fears are coming true," the organization said on Twitter.

"We have reached a crisis moment for access to abortion."

"It's possible that there have been some changes since (Feb. 10)," Politico reporter Josh Gerstein, who published the report, told MSNBC late Monday.

In the period between the first vote and the publication of the verdict, the distribution of votes can still change.

A decision is not final until it is published by the court.

The landmark decision on the precedent "Roe v.

Wade” is one of the most controversial judgments of the Supreme Court. For decades, arch-conservative opponents of abortion in particular have been trying to overturn the regulation and have abortions banned in principle.

Proponents, on the other hand, see decriminalization as a milestone in the history of liberal justice in America.
