A short time ago, I saw a story on Instagram posted by a woman who runs PR for a large company. She reported that a new brief from Justice Alito and Barrett discloses that they want to stop abortion in order to solve the shortage of babies available for adoption in the USA. This is idiotic nonsense. First, the only document that has been leaked from the Supreme Court is a draft of an opinion written in February by Judge Alito. I've read the entire document; it says nothing about adoption at all. It's a legal opinion, not a political argument. In other words, the Instagram story is reporting a complete lie.
Further, Justices don't write briefs. They just write opinions. That makes clear also that her Instagram story is a lie.
Lastly, the Justices are legal scholars. Alito would never base a constitutional argument on a political position.
It's crazy that responsible people fall for these lies
