STORYLINE:
The U.S. Supreme Court will launch a probe into the leak of a draft opinion on abortion rights, a statement said on Tuesday.
Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the authenticity of the document indicating that a majority of justices were poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion nationwide.
Roberts reiterated the draft "does not represent a decision by the Court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case."
"To the extent, this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed," he continued. "The work of the Court will not be affected in any way."
