About
The "Death of Roe" refers to the now-expected overturn of the Supreme Court's landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision [W] which made it illegal for states to outlaw abortion. This decision has been affirmed by SCOTUS countless times since, and yet the six "conservatives" now on the GOP-packed bench see no problem in overturning what has been well-established precedent for five decades.

the leak
- 2022-05-04 DKos: The content matters far more, but evidence says a rwnj gave us the draft - speculation about motives for the leak: hypothesizes that it was a right-winger who didn't want to leave any room for the right-wing justices to back down (this doesn't make sense to me, though, since SCOTUS justices are carefully isolated from the need for donations etc.)

- 2022-05-04 DKos: Alito cites racist eugenics theory to support overturn of Roe v. Wade «Alito pivots to the white savior role, actually attempting to justify that the removal of reproductive rights somehow aligns with a fight against racism—even citing the same misrepresented statistics used by pro-choice activists advocating for eugenics.» This looks like the abortion is black genocide argument again.

- 2022-05-05 DKos: This Republican tweet counted on people not having read the Constitution. Whoops: many things they consider important are also not in the Constitution -- and the Constitution explicitly states that the rights it does list (among which is "«The right of the people to be secure in their persons»") should not be construed as the only rights under protection.
