A draft Supreme Court opinion was leaked and published this week without a key part of the record: the dissenting opinion.
Supreme Court decisions, unless they are unanimous, are released with dissenting opinions from other justices that attempt to rebut the majority's arguments.
For just such a rebuttal, host Peter O'Dowd speaks with Kathryn Kolbert, a women's rights attorney who argues the Supreme Court case Planned Parenthood v. Casey in the '90s reaffirmed Roe.

Thats exactly right...they leaked what they wanted the public to see...no the whole truth...that is the crux of the problem.

I am unsure just how this ends, but I do suspect that if this travesty is allowed to stand, we can expect more, such as an end to same-sex marriage, sex education in school, and any other subject pertaining to sex.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I'm more cynical than that, allows the dust to settle before the ruling which will come out too close to midterms.

CW4 Guy Butler I think Roberts is playing 5D chess. Stare decisis is VERY important to him and I think he’s also savvy enough to know what this decision will do to the both the perception of the court and the country. I think he arranged for the leak to put the holy roller 5 in the pressure cooker

The original Roe v Wade opinion was leaked before it became public. That was a 7-2 decision with 5 republican appointed Justices supporting the decision.
Now the senior judge in the majority opinion writes the opinion and in this case it wasn't Robert's but Alito's. It was also a draft opinion. Also controversial opinion come out at the end of the current turn
