Politico, a US political media outlet, has released a draft decision of the US Supreme Court that overturns precedents that guarantee women's abortion rights.
A draft drafted by the conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Elito said the ruling was "absurdly wrong" and decided to overturn the ruling.
It was also reported that four other conservative judges had the same opinion.
In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a so-called 'Raw v. Wade' ruling that allowed abortion before 24 weeks of pregnancy, and this ruling has served as a law that guarantees women's right to abortion for 50 years.
Violent protests took place in front of the Supreme Court on the news that the right to abortion could disappear after half a century.

President Biden made an unusual statement against the leak of the unprecedented Supreme Court decision. I did.
[Biden/President of the United States: If a decision is made (overturning the verdict), it will be an extremely radical decision.
This requires a fundamental change in American law.]
President Biden appealed to the Democrats to support the Democrats in the November midterm elections, saying that if the Supreme Court overturns the decision, Congress will enact a new law to guarantee the right to abortion.
