(Reuters] – The leaked draft of the majority opinion in the Roe v. Wade case suggests that the U.S. Supreme Court could overturn it, Politico reported Monday.

Washington was shocked by this unprecedented leak. This leak has the potential to change the political landscape in advance of the November midterm elections.

Here’s a reaction to this report

The United States is Independent SENATOR BENNIE SANDERS

“Congress must now pass legislation to codify Roe v. Wade in the United States. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.”

HILLARY CLINTON, ANCIENT U.S. SEECRETARY-AT-STATE:

“This decision is a direct assault on the dignity, rights, & lives of women, not to mention decades of settled law. It will subjugate and kill women, even though the vast majority of Americans believe that abortion should be legal. It is a disgraceful act of deceit. DEMOCRATIC SENSATOR ELIZABETH WAREN:

“An extreme Supreme Court is set to uproot #RoeVWade” and place its unpopular, far-right views on the whole country. The Constitution and abortion rights are in danger of being overthrown by an extremist Supreme Court. It is time to make sure that millions of Americans stand up for their beliefs and speak out. We’re not going back — not ever.”

AMY KLOBUCHAR, DEMOCRATIC SENATOR:

“If Washington is obstructed by Republicans, the American people will not be able to do anything. Americans and women who believe in freedom are going to need to vote. Because that’s how we can make this change.

“You’ll see a real discussion like you have never before. Back alley abortions. People having to travel by bus to other states. People not being able to make economic decisions.

DEMOCRATIC NEW YORK GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL:

This is a disgraceful attack against our fundamental right of choice, and we will fight it using everything that we have. New York will forever guarantee your right and freedom to choose. Our word is yours.

REPUBLICAN SENSATOR TOM COTTON

“The Supreme Court & the DOJ must get to the bottom of this leak immediately using every investigative tool necessary. In the meantime, Roe was egregiously wrong from the beginning & I pray the Court follows the Constitution & allows the states to once again protect unborn life.”

RICK SCOTT REPUBLICANSENATOR

“The Supreme Court’s confidential deliberation process is sacred & protects it from political interference. This breach shows that radical Democrats are working even harder to intimidate & undermine the Court. This was their intention from the beginning. This attack cannot change the minds of justices.”

REPUBLICAN SENSATOR, JOSH HAWLEY

“The Left continues to attack the Supreme Court with an unprecedented breach confidentiality. It clearly intends to intimidate. This attempt to corrupt the court must not be allowed to continue. Keep your feet on the ground.”

“I will say, if this is the Court’s opinion, it’s a heck of an opinion. The Court’s opinion is well-researched, strongly argued and morally strong.

DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATIVE TIM RYAN AND SENATE CANDIDATE JASON RYAN

“It would be completely wrong to repeal Roe. Ohio has seen Republicans make extreme proposals to ban abortion, including one after the other. We have to resist. It is at risk for Ohioans most fundamental rights.”

DEMOCRATIC ALEXANDRIA OCASIO CORTEZ:

“SCOTUS has warned us that they won’t be coming just for abortion – instead, they will come to protect the privacy Roe provides, and include gay marriage + civil right. Manchin has blocked Congress from codifying Roe. House seems to have forgotten Clarence Thomas. These two points need to be changed.”

NATIONAL WOMENS LAW CENTER

“The Supreme Court has leaked a draft opinion that is shocking and irresponsible. Anyone who sign onto this opinion will fuel the violence and harm that will be done to women who are pregnant in this country.

AMERICAN CIVIL RIGHTS UNION

“If the Supreme Court actually issues a majority opinion in accordance with the leaked draft by Justice Alito, then the shifting of the tectonic plates regarding abortion rights is as significant as any Court opinion.”
