GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — ROE V. WADE OPINION DRAFT LEAKED: A reported written draft from the U.S. Supreme Court shows a majority of justices could be set to overturn Roe vs. Wade.
Politico published the draft, which was written in early February, saying it obtained the document from a person familiar with the court's proceedings. The draft would mean each state could set its own abortion policy.
Experts say the draft may not represent the court's final decision on the matter, as opinions often change during the drafting process.

No foul play is suspected in his death.
