Planned Parenthood tweeted:"While abortion is still legal, tonight's report makes clear our deepest fears are coming true.
"It will kill and subjugate women even as a vast majority of Americans think abortion should be legal," she went on.In a joint statement, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said:"If the report is accurate, the Supreme Court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past fifty years - not just on women but on all Americans.
That makes the leak of a draft ruling all the more astonishing, and certain to spark a backlash against the court and states who have pushed for a ban on abortion.

The Biden administration has been outspoken in its condemnation of laws restricting abortion. The White House and America face a test of how to respond. In 2020, AP VoteCast found 69% of voters in the presidential election said the Supreme Court should leave the Roe Wade decision as is; just 29% said the court should overturn the decision.
