WASHINGTON, D.C. (NewsHour) — A leaked early draft of a coming Supreme Court decision suggests Roe v. Wade could be struck down.

The landmark decision established the constitutional right to abortion and the last major challenge to it came in a 1992 case called Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey.

Kathryn Kolbert, an attorney who argued that case for Planned Parenthood, joins NewsHour’s John Yang to discuss.
