Chuck Schumer addresses leaked Roe v Wade opinion: ‘This decision would be an abomination’

Chuck Schumer has addressed the leaked Supreme Court draft decision that would overturn Roe v Wade, calling it an “abomination”.

Politico reported on Monday evening that a majority of justices could support striking down the right to an abortion, leading to widespread outrage across the US.

“This is a dark and disturbing day for America,” Mr Schumer said, responding to the reports on the steps of the US Capitol.

He added that he intends to bring a vote to the Senate floor that will uphold women’s access to abortions, should one be necessary.
