The opinion, obtained by Politico and published Monday night, says the court is poised to strike down the decision protecting abortion rights in the United States.
The draft, written by Justice Samuel Alito, said the landmark 1973 decision protecting abortion rights, along with a 1992 decision known as Planned Parenthood v. Casey that reinforced those rights, "must be overruled," according to the "Opinion of the Court" document cited in the report. The final ruling will not be made public, however, until it is published sometime in the next few months, and may still be subject to change, according to the outlet.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul shared her initial reaction to the report on Monday, calling on New Yorkers to keep abortion rights in mind when they head to the polls later this year to pick their governor.
