In this special episode of CAFE Insider, Preet and Joyce discuss the leaked Supreme Court opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, which, if adopted by the Court, would overturn Roe v. Wade. Why was the draft opinion leaked? How would the opinion restrict reproductive rights? And what are its implications for other constitutional rights?
