A majority of Supreme Court justices still want to overturn the landmark abortion ruling, according to a report.
There are pro-abortion rights demonstrators outside of the Supreme Court.
The only circulating draft in the case is the one written by Justice Samuel Alito, according to anonymous sources.
The majority's draft will likely be updated once the liberal justices draft their dissent, according to the report.
Politico reported Wednesday that no one has changed their votes since the February opinion was drafted.
The Washington Post reported on Saturday that five justices still supported reversing the decision.
Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement last week that the draft opinion does not represent the final decision of the court.
The conference will be the first since the abortion opinion was leaked, and the justices could make changes to the ruling. The final decision in the abortion case will be released before the court's term ends this summer. The term could last into early July.
As Americans view the 6-3 conservative court as overly politicized, and the news that the court may soon overturn the abortion law has sparked protests at multiple justices' homes, the draft opinion came as public trust in the court had already been slipping. The Senate passed a bill on Monday that would increase security for justices in light of the protests.
This is the most serious assault on the Supreme Court that it has ever experienced, according to a source close to the court.
The Supreme Court's draft opinion in Jackson Women's Health was leaked by Politico. The report marked an extremely rare instance of it, as the court is typically extremely secretive about its rulings and deliberations. The court's marshall was ordered to investigate the draft opinion after Roberts criticized it as a singular and egregious violation of trust.
50%. The percentage of voters who said they have little or no confidence in the Supreme Court has gone up since the leaked opinion was released. 29% of Republicans disapprove of the court in 2020, compared to 17% in 2020.
Alito's draft opinion is the only one circulating inside the Supreme Court.
According to a leaked draft opinion, the Supreme Court plans to overturn Wade.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts says the court will investigate the leak.
