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.

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.
