He blamed Democrats for the unprecedented leak from the Supreme Court. Mr Hawley said: “The Left is continuing its attack on the Supreme Court with an unprecedented breach of confidentiality, clearly intended to intimidate. “Judges must not give in to this attempt to corrupt the process. Stay strong.” Planned Parenthood, which operates abortion clinics across the country, said it was “outrageous”. The report said: “The report makes it clear that our deepest fears are coming true. We have reached a critical juncture in access to abortion.” Gregory Micks, a Democrat representing New York, said: “It’s horrible. It’s a game that changes the game for America. It will be devastating to who we are as a people in the United States.”
Roe v Wade “has deepened the division,” the court said
The draft opinion would also overturn a 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v Casey – which upheld the right to abortion. Judge Alito, who was nominated to the Supreme Court by President George W. Bush, wrote: “We believe Rowe and Casey should be disqualified. “Not by bringing about a national settlement on abortion, Rowe and Casey have sparked debate and deepened divisions.”
