In reply to the discussion: Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows [View all]Karma13612
(4,552 posts)185. yes, the dominoes
And the plight of women across America is changing now.
Im not so sure women can fight back alone. Not sure if I will get flagged for this but, it would be awesome if more men would stand up and shout about this as well. SOME men think that all they are responsible for is the night of love-making. And the woman just has to take care of any consequences after the fact. When it hits them in the face that their lover is pregnant and cant get an abortion, are they going to do something about it? Cant they think ahead a bit?
This needs to be a team effort. I dont see it happening.

OP
Was this leaked in time to affect the Mid-Term Primaries, which have started in most states?

It's unheard-of for draft opinions to leak. I wonder who leaked this one, and why?

This is how you protect sources. Document's metadata provides no solid hints as to its provenance.

My bet is that it was the conservative justices themselves (or their staff) who leaked it . . .
