The United States Supreme Court has said a leaked draft opinion overturning the top court’s precedent-setting Roe v Wade ruling, which set out women’s right to abortion, is “authentic” but does not represent a final decision.In a statement on Tuesday, Chief Justice John Roberts said he has directed the court marshal “to launch an investigation into the source of the leak”.“Justices circulate draft opinions internally as a routine and essential part of the Court’s confidential deliberative work. Although the document described in yesterday’s reports is authentic, it does not represent a decision by the Court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case,” the statement said.
