China News Agency, Washington, May 3 (Reporter Sha Hanting) According to US media reports on the evening of the 2nd, an opinion leaked by the US Supreme Court shows that the Supreme Court may overturn the Roe v. Wade case that protects women's abortion rights. .

　　Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the opinion on the 3rd.

Roberts condemned the leak of unpublished submissions and said an investigation would be launched into how the information leaked.

He also said that the content of the opinion does not represent the final ruling of the Supreme Court.

　　The leaked opinion was written by Supreme Court conservative Justice Alito.

The opinion said Roe v. Wade "was egregiously wrong from the start" and that Roe v. Wade "must be overturned."

　　Roe v. Wade was a "landmark" case in the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on a woman's right to abortion.

The Supreme Court ruled that women have the right to abortion, which is constitutionally protected.

　　The Associated Press analysis believes that if the Supreme Court overturns the Roe v. Wade case, half of the US states will likely implement an abortion ban, and the ruling will have an impact on this year's midterm elections.

　　U.S. President Biden said on the 3rd that he opposed the Supreme Court's overturn of Roe v. Wade.

He also said that if the Supreme Court eventually overturns Roe v. Wade, he will work with Congress to pass legislation that would guarantee women's abortion rights.

Biden also called on the public to choose those congressmen who support women's abortion rights in this year's midterm elections, which will facilitate the passage of related bills.

　　Some Republican lawmakers condemned the leaked documents and supported an investigation into the source of the leak.

Some Republican lawmakers also expressed support for the opinion paper to overturn Roe v. Wade.

They say rules on abortion should be determined by the states, not the federal level.

　　It is reported that the Supreme Court will make a final ruling on the case in late June and early July.
