House GOP says Democrats ready to run on an abortion-on-demand platform

By Kerry Picket - The Washington Times

A crowd of people gather outside the Supreme Court, early Tuesday, May 3, 2022 in Washington.

Wade that legalized abortion nationwide, according to a report published Monday night in Politico. It's unclear if the draft represents the court's final word on the matter. The Associated Press could not immediately confirm the authenticity of the draft Politico posted, which if verified marks a shocking revelation of the high court's secretive deliberation process, particularly before a case is formally decided.
