Will the Supreme Court release a Roe v. Wade decision this week?

The Supreme Court will issue a batch of opinions on an unknown number of cases Monday, but the highly-anticipated decision that could determine the fate of abortion protections is likely weeks away, according to judicial experts.
"Typically, more controversial cases are decided the last day of the term. So I do not expect Dobbs on Monday," Brennan Center fellow and Stetson University law professor Ciara Torres-Spelliscy told Fox News Digital in an email. The court typically concludes its work by mid-June or July, then begins a summer recess.
A leaked draft opinion for Dobbs, written by Justice Samuel Alito in February and published by Politico May 3, indicates that the Supreme Court may have the votes to overturn Roe. The draft, which the court confirmed as genuine, does not reflect the final decision of the court. But that hasn't stopped abortion-rights advocates and pro-life activists from speculating about the final results.
