Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi led a chorus of outrage over a leaked Supreme Court opinion that would overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.
The Democratic congressional leaders denounced the draft opinion reportedly prepared by a five-judge conservative majority that declares there is no constitutional right for a woman to choose.
“The Supreme Court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past fifty years — not just on women but on all Americans,” Schumer and Pelosi wrote late Monday. “(It) would go down as an abomination, one of the worst and most damaging decisions in modern history.”
