Senator Amy Klobuchar on leaked Roe v. Wade draft opinion: "Complete chaos if this goes through"

The bombshell draft opinion published by Politico on Monday that indicates a majority of Supreme Court justices appear ready to overturn Roe v. Wade — the landmark decision establishing the right to an abortion — set off late-night reactions from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers. One of those lawmakers is Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, who told "CBS Mornings" on Tuesday that there would be "complete chaos" if the court's final decision matched the draft opinion, which was written by Justice Samuel Alito. 

"If this leaked opinion is true, they are literally overturning 50 years of precedent with a case that is supported by 80% of the American public, just because they have their own personal political views," Klobuchar said. "And we have no idea what floodgate will be opened on birth control and the like. We have Republican legislators that are talking about a six-week ban on abortion. This is going to be complete chaos if this goes through." 

"If you look at what [Alito] says, abortion, the word's not in the constitution," Klobuchar added. "Well, birth control is not in the constitution, and that also uses a similar argument in past cases for a right to privacy. The term 'gay marriage' is not in the constitution. The court has interpreted the constitution to protect these rights for Americans, so that is why this is such a big deal."
