Leaked court document galvanizes anti-abortion activists

A pastor uses a megaphone to ask women not to get abortions on Tuesday, April 12, 2022, at the Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City, Ill. The pastor, whose church is across the state line in the St. Louis area, declined to give his name but said he stands outside the clinic and does this often. More women from Missouri and states much farther away are coming to Illinois for abortions, as more states restrict that kind of care. (AP Photo/Martha Irvine)

Demonstrators protest outside of the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday, May 3, 2022 in Washington. A draft opinion suggests the U.S. Supreme Court could be poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide, according to a Politico report released Monday. Whatever the outcome, the Politico report represents an extremely rare breach of the court's secretive deliberation process, and on a case of surpassing importance. (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana)
