Now-retired US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, among three justices who opposed the conservative majority’s decision to strike down the constitutional right to abortion, said a leaked draft of the opinion in the landmark case was a “very damaging” breach of the high court’s protocol.
In a wide-ranging interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace weeks before the court returns for its upcoming session, Mr Breyer said “of course” he did not like the majority’s decision in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization on 24 June, which overturned precedents in Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey that upheld the right to abortion care.
