U.S. Supreme Court

People angered by the U.S. Supreme Court's abortion ruling took to the streets over the weekend in cities and small towns across North Carolina. 

Bridgers has joined a growing list of celebrities and social media users publicly sharing their abortion stories following the leak of the Supreme Court's draft opinion.

If the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the landmark decision, it will have a major impact in states across the country that have already signaled their intention to further restrict or ban abortion.

Leaks of any kind are rare at the Supreme Court, but in 1973, the original Roe decision was leaked to the press before the court formally announced it. The chief justice was furious.

Biden says the reasoning in the leaked Supreme Court draft would mean "every other decision related to the notion of privacy is thrown into question," including contraception and gay marriage.

Though Democrats don't have the votes to pass such a bill, the Senate majority leader insisted voting on it wouldn't be "an abstract exercise," putting every senator's stance on the record.

If Roe v. Wade falters, Colorado will be nearly surrounded by a sea of anti-abortion states. The state is bracing for impact from out-of-state residents, while lawmakers cement abortion protections.

In emotional comments at Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's Supreme Court confirmation hearing, the New Jersey Democrat also expressed shock at the questioning she faced from some of his GOP colleagues.

With Justice Stephen Breyer stepping down, President Biden has his first nomination to the high court. He campaigned on picking a Black woman for the lifetime appointment.
