In a rare breach of US Supreme Court secrecy, a draft majority opinion written by justice Samuel Alito was published on May 2. The would-be ruling makes a case for completely overturning Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), allowing states to outlaw all abortions without exceptions for rape and incest. Women in half of the states will lose access to safe and legal reproductive services, with ominous implications for countless other long-established rights.

Protests immediately broke out across the country, including on the steps of the US Supreme Court in Washington D.C., and have continued for weeks. One of the first locally was at the Federal Courthouse in Oakland, within hours of the news breaking. Check the Indybay calendar for upcoming events.
