Summary
In 1973 the United States Supreme Court ruled that a right of privacy under the Constitution guaranteed a woman's right to have an abortion under certain circumstances. Associate Justice Harry A. Blackmun, who wrote the opinion for the Court, circulated among his colleagues a draft announcement that he would later read from the bench as the opinion was released. Chief Justice Warren Burger, a boyhood friend, returned Blackmun's draft with his comments, written in red pencil.
