Senator Collins’ Statement on Leaked Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization Draft Decision

Washington, D.C.—U.S. Senator Susan Collins issued this statement following the leak of a draft decision reportedly authored by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization:

“If this leaked draft opinion is the final decision and this reporting is accurate, it would be completely inconsistent with what Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanaugh said in their hearings and in our meetings in my office. Obviously, we won’t know each Justice’s decision and reasoning until the Supreme Court officially announces its opinion in this case.”
