Reports have surfaced suggesting that judges at the US Supreme Court have backed the overturning of a landmark case which legalised abortion across the Atlantic.
HullLive reports news that website Politico claims a leaked document known as an initial draft majority opinion shows a number of judges supporting a move to overturn the Roe v Wade case from 1973. Back then, the Supreme Court ruled the US constitution protected a woman's right to have an abortion.
This remains a highly controversial decision in the country nearly 50 years later where many people who back a "pro-life" stance believe abortions should be illegal. News of the leaked document sparked rallies outside the Supreme Court last night in Washington DC from both sides of the argument.
