Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the authenticity of a leaked draft opinion suggesting the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide.
The draft opinion was made public by Politico in a report published Monday, and Roberts said he has ordered an investigation of the leak, which he called a “breach of trust.”
In-person and online protests have erupted across the nation as women demand the reproductive rights granted to them in the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
“Our whole autonomy, to be able to choose when and if we want to bring a child into the world, is on the line,” Ricki Lake said during an appearance Tuesday night on NewsNation’s “Banfield.”
Lake is hopeful that her film “The Business of Birth Control” will encourage women to advocate for themselves and fight for more options.
