A U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that has guaranteed abortion rights for roughly half a century, could quickly curtail access to abortion in Georgia. 

Not only that, the leaked draft of the high court’s ruling is already jolting the 2022 midterms as Democrats gear up for a fight over abortion rights on the campaign trail and at the state Capitol.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court confirmed the authenticity of the draft decision, but noted it does not represent a final ruling.
