Supreme Court leaked draft abortion ruling animates pro-choice advocates - Hall

May 17, 2022 USA Today

The recent leaked draft Supreme Court opinion which would eliminate the Constitutional right to abortion as settled in Roe v. Wade has energized both sides of the debate. A USA Today article that examines the energy of the advocates—as determined by the amount of money they have to spend on the issue—indicates that pro-choice groups like Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and Emily's List have an edge.   

Ford School professor Richard Hall noted, “This is gonna be a shot in the arm for a lot of the pro-reproductive rights organizations. I don’t know whether or not there’ll be a counter-mobilization that’s really going to work for the anti-abortion groups.”
