Abortion was made legal across the US after a landmark legal ruling in 1973, often referred to as the Roe v Wade case. However, a leaked document claims that the US Supreme Court - the nation's most senior legal body - is now in favour of overturning that right. Following the leak of the draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito revealing his intent to overturn the Roe v Wade ruling, what other legislation could conservatives have in their sights?

University of Texas law professor Elizabeth Sepper and expert in healthcare law and religion believes access to contraception and same sex rights could be next in the clampdown, given Justice Samuel Alito's view that constitutional rights should be rooted in history. She regrets the fact that Roe v Wade, the 1973 law which gave US women the right to an abortion, and same sex marriage were not 'codified' by the Senate.
