Republican senators have expressed outrage over the leak of a draft opinion of the Supreme Court’s decision that would effectively overturn Roe v Wade. But when asked what the consequences should be for abortion providers or women who seek abortions, Republicans mostly said it would be up to states to decide.
The news came after Politico published a leaked draft opinion written by Associate Justice Samuel Alito late Monday evening. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed its authenticity on Tuesday and said it will not affect the work of the court going forward.
