Supreme Court probe fails to find who leaked abortion ruling

Abortion rights demonstrators protest outside the United States Supreme Court as the court rules in the Dobbs v Women's Health Organization abortion case, overturning the landmark Roe v Wade abortion decision in Washington, U.S., June 24, 2022. An investigation into who leaked a bombshell Supreme Court ruling overturning the federal constitutional right to abortion weeks before it was officially released failed to identify the culprit, the court said Thursday. Politico in May reported that a leaked draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito showed that the Supreme Court was poised to overturn its five-decade-old ruling in the case known as Roe v. Wade, which found there was a constitutional right to abortion. The following month, the Supreme Court did just that, with a majority opinion penned by Alito, a member of the conservative supermajority on the court.

FBI offers rewards for information on pregnancy center attacks

The FBI is offering up to $25,000 in rewards for information that could help them track down those responsible for a series of recent attacks and threats against reproductive health care facilities. The agency announced the rewards in a press release Thursday , saying it was "seeking the public's help" in investigating these crimes, which many of which involve acts of arson and vandalism targeting anti-abortion non-profit organizations. “Today’s announcement reflects the FBI’s commitment to vigorously pursue investigations into crimes against pregnancy resource centers, faith-based organizations, and reproductive health clinics across the country,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said in a statement. Jane's Revenge, a militant pro-abortion rights group that emerged after the leaked Supreme Court ruling, reportedly claimed credit for the Madison attack at the time, but law enforcement did not immediately confirm that claim. Ahead of the highly-anticipated ruling, which officially came down on June 24, 2022 , law enforcement authorities were preparing for the possibility that Roe's reversal could inspire violence and civil unrest, as intelligence bulletins obtained by Yahoo News at the time revealed.

Doctors say men are getting more vasectomies amid abortion restrictions nationwide

After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark case that protected abortion rights, medical professionals say they have seen a drastic increase in vasectomies. Vasectomies offer a form of permanent birth control for men, and roughly 500,000 are performed every year in the United States. But doctors say this isn't the only major event that has pushed men to seek a permanent form of contraception. As abortion rights are restricted nationwide, experts say vasectomies do not provide a replacement for access to abortion. Even though medical professionals say vasectomies are cheaper, safer and faster, more women get their tubes tied.

Bill over abortion court leak struck down in North Dakota

Months after the unprecedented leak of the U.S. Supreme Court draft opinion that overturned Roe v. Wade, lawmakers in North Dakota considered — and struck down — a bill to criminalize court leaks on Tuesday. Introduced by the North Dakota Supreme Court, the bill would have let prosecutors charge people with misdemeanors for leaking information on pending court decisions in the state. Republican Rep. Landon Bahl, of Grand Forks, said the bill was a direct response to the leak of the Dobbs decision. But he also said during the debate that lawmakers weren't aware of any court leaks in North Dakota. He told lawmakers a media representative had testified earlier that the bill would put “undue pressure” on journalists to disclose the identities of leakers.

Same-sex couples wary despite federal marriage rights bill

That prompted Democrats to act quickly to protect same-sex marriage while the party still holds the majority in both chambers of Congress. The Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act last week with support from 12 Republicans; it's expected to easily win approval in the House before being signed by President Joe Biden. Ten years later, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a federal appeals court ruling that declared the state ban unconstitutional. The legislation wouldn't codify, or enshrine into law, the Supreme Court decision requiring states to issue same-sex marriage licenses. “This is a ridiculous situation to be in.”The Bishop-Baldwins said they doubt the Supreme Court will strip away same-sex marriage rights, but are relieved there will be some protections in place just in case.
