handmaid's tale

Roe v. Wade, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that protects the right to choose an abortion, is reportedly at serious risk of being struck down, in a move that critics are comparing to The Handmaid's Tale.

A leaked Supreme Court draft suggests that the conservative majority is preparing to toss out the ruling, and it's supercharging the debate in the U.S. and abroad. Pro-choice activists are up in arms about it, while many conservative voices are celebrating it as a victory in the making.
