WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Senate voted 49-51 Wednesday on a Democrat bill to enshrine abortion on demand in federal law, forcing states to allow the practice to go on virtually unregulated, in response to the leak of a draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court might finally be ready to reverse Roe v. Wade.

Last week, Politico published a leaked draft of a majority opinion by conservative Justice Samuel Alito for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which concerns Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. The draft declares that “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” and therefore it is “time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.” In response, the Court announced the draft was authentic but “does not represent a final decision by the court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case.”

It remains unclear whether the draft represents a final decision to overturn Roe, is a tentative decision subject to change, was prepared in anticipation of a majority to overturn, or was written in hopes of persuading Alito’s colleagues to sign on.
