Washington Week with The Atlantic

GOP seeks source of leak, Dems try to secure abortion rights

Season 2022 Episode 18 | 18m 48s

A leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion sent shockwaves across the nation this week with revelations that the majority of justices support overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark case that has federally protected a woman’s right to an abortion. Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the text but said it is not final, while also announcing an investigation into the leak.
