What the Alito leak means for Roe — and everything else

Dara Lind sits down with Vox Supreme Court correspondent Ian Millhiser (@imillhiser) for a deep dive into the leaked draft opinion on abortion written by Justice Samuel Alito. They discuss the text of the opinion itself; why Alito was chosen to write it; and what could happen in the days, weeks, and months following a ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.  References: The Roe opinion and the case against the Supreme Court  Ian’s explainer on the draft memo What happens next if the Supreme Court strikes down Roe  Ian’s interview with Professor Melissa Murray Professor Melissa Murray NYT op ed from December: What would a post-Roe America look like?
