(AP)— A leaked draft of a U.S. Supreme Court decision suggests the country’s highest court could be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
That's the lawsuit that led to the landmark 1973 decision establishing a constitutional right to abortion in the United States.
In the 1992 Casey decision, the Supreme Court made it easier for states to restrict abortions.
If the Supreme Court upholds a Mississippi ban on abortions after 15 weeks, it would overturn Roe and Casey.
Both found a right to abortion until the point of fetal viability, at roughly 24 weeks.
