Supreme Court has voted to overturn
abortion rights, draft opinion shows-“We hold that Roe and Casey must be
overruled,” Justice Alito writes in an initial majority draft
circulated inside the court.By Josh Gerstein and Alexander
Ward-05/02/2022 08:32 PM EDT
The Supreme Court has voted to
strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial
draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside
the court and obtained by POLITICO.The draft opinion is a
full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which
guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a
subsequent 1992 decision — Planned Parenthood v. Casey — that largely
maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito
writes.“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the
document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the
Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected
representatives.”Deliberations on controversial cases have in the past
been fluid. Justices can and sometimes do change their votes as draft
opinions circulate and major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts
and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before a decision is
unveiled. The court’s holding will not be final until it is published,
likely in the next two months.The immediate impact of the ruling as
drafted in February would be to end a half-century guarantee of federal
constitutional protection of abortion rights and allow each state to
decide whether to restrict or ban abortion. It’s unclear if there have
been subsequent changes to the draft.No draft decision in the modern
history of the court has been disclosed publicly while a case was still
pending. The unprecedented revelation is bound to intensify the debate
over what was already the most controversial case on the docket this
term.The draft opinion offers an extraordinary window into the justices’
deliberations in one of the most consequential cases before the court
in the last five decades. Some court-watchers predicted that the
conservative majority would slice away at abortion rights without flatly
overturning a 49-year-old precedent. The draft shows that the court is
looking to reject Roe’s logic and legal protections.“Roe was egregiously
wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the
decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a
national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed
debate and deepened division.”Justice Samuel Alito in an initial draft
majority opinion-A person familiar with the court’s deliberations said
that four of the other Republican-appointed justices — Clarence Thomas,
Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett — had voted with
Alito in the conference held among the justices after hearing oral
arguments in December, and that line-up remains unchanged as of this
week.The three Democratic-appointed justices — Stephen Breyer, Sonia
Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — are working on one or more dissents,
according to the person. How Chief Justice John Roberts will ultimately
vote, and whether he will join an already written opinion or draft his
own, is unclear.The document, labeled as a first draft of the majority
opinion, includes a notation that it was circulated among the justices
on Feb. 10. If the Alito draft is adopted, it would rule in favor of
Mississippi in the closely watched case over that state’s attempt to ban
most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.On Tuesday, after this
article was published, Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the draft
opinion and said he was ordering an investigation into the
disclosure.“To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court
was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not
succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way,” Roberts
pledged in a written statement. “This was a singular and egregious
breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community
of public servants who work here.”Roberts also stressed that the draft
opinion “does not represent a decision by the Court or the final
position of any member on the issues in the case.” The court
spokesperson had declined comment pre-publication.
Supreme Court-10 key passages from Alito’s draft opinion, which would overturn Roe v. Wade-By Josh Gerstein
POLITICO
received a copy of the draft opinion from a person familiar with the
court’s proceedings in the Mississippi case along with other details
supporting the authenticity of the document. The draft opinion runs 98
pages, including a 31-page appendix of historical state abortion laws.
The document is replete with citations to previous court decisions,
books and other authorities, and includes 118 footnotes. The appearances
and timing of this draft are consistent with court practice.The
disclosure of Alito’s draft majority opinion — a rare breach of Supreme
Court secrecy and tradition around its deliberations — comes as all
sides in the abortion debate are girding for the ruling. Speculation
about the looming decision has been intense since the December oral
arguments indicated a majority was inclined to support the Mississippi
law.Under long-standing court procedures, justices hold preliminary
votes on cases shortly after argument and assign a member of the
majority to write a draft of the court’s opinion. The draft is often
amended in consultation with other justices, and in some cases the
justices change their votes altogether, creating the possibility that
the current alignment on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization
could change.The chief justice typically assigns majority opinions when
he is in the majority. When he is not, that decision is typically made
by the most senior justice in the majority.‘Exceptionally weak’A George
W. Bush appointee who joined the court in 2006, Alito argues that the
1973 abortion rights ruling was an ill-conceived and deeply flawed
decision that invented a right mentioned nowhere in the Constitution and
unwisely sought to wrench the contentious issue away from the political
branches of government.Alito’s draft ruling would overturn a decision
by the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit Court of Appeals that found the
Mississippi law ran afoul of Supreme Court precedent by seeking to
effectively ban abortions before viability.Roe’s “survey of history
ranged from the constitutionally irrelevant to the plainly incorrect,”
Alito continues, adding that its reasoning was “exceptionally weak,” and
that the original decision has had “damaging consequences.”“The
inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted
in the Nation’s history and traditions,” Alito writes.Alito approvingly
quotes a broad range of critics of the Roe decision. He also points to
liberal icons such as the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Harvard
Law Professor Laurence Tribe, who at certain points in their careers
took issue with the reasoning in Roe or its impact on the political
process.Alito’s skewering of Roe and the endorsement of at least four
other justices for that unsparing critique is also a measure of the
court’s rightward turn in recent decades. Roe was decided 7-2 in 1973,
with five Republican appointees joining two justices nominated by
Democratic presidents.The overturning of Roe would almost immediately
lead to stricter limits on abortion access in large swaths of the South
and Midwest, with about half of the states set to immediately impose
broad abortion bans. Any state could still legally allow the procedure.
Supreme Court-By POLITICO Staff
“The
Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from
regulating or prohibiting abortion,” the draft concludes. “Roe and Casey
arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return
that authority to the people and their elected representatives.”The
draft contains the type of caustic rhetorical flourishes Alito is known
for and that has caused Roberts, his fellow Bush appointee, some
discomfort in the past.At times, Alito’s draft opinion takes an almost
mocking tone as it skewers the majority opinion in Roe, written by
Justice Harry Blackmun, a Richard Nixon appointee who died in 1999.“Roe
expressed the ‘feel[ing]’ that the Fourteenth Amendment was the
provision that did the work, but its message seemed to be that the
abortion right could be found somewhere in the Constitution and that
specifying its exact location was not of paramount importance,” Alito
writes.Alito declares that one of the central tenets of Roe, the
“viability” distinction between fetuses not capable of living outside
the womb and those which can, “makes no sense.”supreme court-How rare is
a Supreme Court breach? Very rare-By Josh Gerstein.In several passages,
he describes doctors and nurses who terminate pregnancies as
“abortionists.”When Roberts voted with liberal jurists in 2020 to block a
Louisiana law imposing heavier regulations on abortion clinics, his
solo concurrence used the more neutral term “abortion providers.” In
contrast, Justice Clarence Thomas used the word “abortionist” 25 times
in a solo dissent in the same case.Alito’s use of the phrase
“egregiously wrong” to describe Roe echoes language Mississippi
Solicitor General Scott Stewart used in December in defending his
state’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The phrase was
also contained in an opinion Kavanaugh wrote as part of a 2020 ruling
that jury convictions in criminal cases must be unanimous.In that
opinion, Kavanaugh labeled two well-known Supreme Court decisions
“egregiously wrong when decided”: the 1944 ruling upholding the
detention of Japanese Americans during World War II, Korematsu v. United
States, and the 1896 decision that blessed racial segregation under the
rubric of “separate but equal,” Plessy v. Ferguson.The high court has
never formally overturned Korematsu, but did repudiate the decision in a
2018 ruling by Roberts that upheld then-President Donald Trump’s travel
ban policy.-The legacy of Plessy v. FergusonPlessy remained the law of
the land for nearly six decades until the court overturned it with the
Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation ruling in 1954.Quoting
Kavanaugh, Alito writes of Plessy: “It was ‘egregiously wrong,’ on the
day it was decided.”Alito’s draft opinion includes, in small type, a
list of about two pages’ worth of decisions in which the justices
overruled prior precedents — in many instances reaching results praised
by liberals.The implication that allowing states to outlaw abortion is
on par with ending legal racial segregation has been hotly disputed. But
the comparison underscores the conservative justices’ belief that Roe
is so flawed that the justices should disregard their usual hesitations
about overturning precedent and wholeheartedly renounce it.Alito’s draft
opinion ventures even further into this racially sensitive territory by
observing in a footnote that some early proponents of abortion rights
also had unsavory views in favor of eugenics.“Some such supporters have
been motivated by a desire to suppress the size of the African American
population,” Alito writes. “It is beyond dispute that Roe has had that
demographic effect. A highly disproportionate percentage of aborted
fetuses are black.”Alito writes that by raising the point he isn’t
casting aspersions on anyone. “For our part, we do not question the
motives of either those who have supported and those who have opposed
laws restricting abortion,” he writes.Alito also addresses concern about
the impact the decision could have on public discourse. “We cannot
allow our decisions to be affected by any extraneous influences such as
concern about the public’s reaction to our work,” Alito writes. “We do
not pretend to know how our political system or society will respond to
today’s decision overruling Roe and Casey. And even if we could foresee
what will happen, we would have no authority to let that knowledge
influence our decision.”In the main opinion in the 1992 Casey decision,
Justices Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony Kennedy and Davis Souter warned
that the court would pay a “terrible price” for overruling Roe, despite
criticism of the decision from some in the public and the legal
community.“While it has engendered disapproval, it has not been
unworkable,” the three justices wrote then. “An entire generation has
come of age free to assume Roe‘s concept of liberty in defining the
capacity of women to act in society, and to make reproductive decisions;
no erosion of principle going to liberty or personal autonomy has left
Roe‘s central holding a doctrinal remnant.”When Dobbs was argued in
December, Roberts seemed out of sync with the other conservative
justices, as he has been in a number of cases including one challenging
the Affordable Care Act.At the argument session last fall, Roberts
seemed to be searching for a way to uphold Mississippi’s 15-week ban
without completely abandoning the Roe framework.“Viability, it seems to
me, doesn’t have anything to do with choice. But, if it really is an
issue about choice, why is 15 weeks not enough time?” Roberts asked
during the arguments. “The thing that is at issue before us today is 15
weeks.”-Nods to conservative colleagues-While Alito’s draft opinion
doesn’t cater much to Roberts’ views, portions of it seem intended to
address the specific interests of other justices. One passage argues
that social attitudes toward out-of-wedlock pregnancies “have changed
drastically” since the 1970s and that increased demand for adoption
makes abortion less necessary.Those points dovetail with issues that
Barrett — a Trump appointee and the court’s newest member — raised at
the December arguments. She suggested laws allowing people to surrender
newborn babies on a no-questions-asked basis mean carrying a pregnancy
to term doesn’t oblige one to engage in child rearing.“Why don’t the
safe haven laws take care of that problem?” asked Barrett, who adopted
two of her seven children.Much of Alito’s draft is devoted to arguing
that widespread criminalization of abortion during the 19th and early
20th century belies the notion that a right to abortion is implied in
the Constitution.The conservative justice attached to his draft a
31-page appendix listing laws passed to criminalize abortion during that
period. Alito claims “an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on
pain of criminal punishment…from the earliest days of the common law
until 1973.”“Until the latter part of the 20th century, there was no
support in American law for a constitutional right to obtain an
abortion. Zero. None. No state constitutional provision had recognized
such a right,” Alito adds.Alito’s draft argues that rights protected by
the Constitution but not explicitly mentioned in it — so-called
unenumerated rights — must be strongly rooted in U.S. history and
tradition. That form of analysis seems at odds with several of the
court’s recent decisions, including many of its rulings backing gay
rights.“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution
makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly
protected by any constitutional provision....” Justice Samuel Alito in
an initial draft majority opinion-Liberal justices seem likely to take
issue with Alito’s assertion in the draft opinion that overturning Roe
would not jeopardize other rights the courts have grounded in privacy,
such as the right to contraception, to engage in private consensual
sexual activity and to marry someone of the same sex.“We emphasize that
our decision concerns the constitutional right to abortion and no other
right,” Alito writes. “Nothing in this opinion should be understood to
cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.”Alito’s draft
opinion rejects the idea that abortion bans reflect the subjugation of
women in American society. “Women are not without electoral or political
power,” he writes. “The percentage of women who register to vote and
cast ballots is consistently higher than the percentage of men who do
so.”The Supreme Court remains one of Washington’s most secretive
institutions, priding itself on protecting the confidentiality of its
internal deliberations.“At the Supreme Court, those who know don’t talk,
and those who talk don’t know,” Ginsburg was fond of saying.That
tight-lipped reputation has eroded somewhat in recent decades due to a
series of books by law clerks, law professors and investigative
journalists. Some of these authors clearly had access to draft opinions
such as the one obtained by POLITICO, but their books emerged well after
the cases in question were resolved.The justices held their final
arguments of the current term on Wednesday. The court has set a series
of sessions over the next two months to release rulings in its
still-unresolved cases, including the Mississippi abortion case.
