From an AP internal message by John Daniszewski, vice president for standards, on covering the expected Supreme Court decision on abortion:

A decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in coming days could overturn, modify or uphold Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that established a legal right to abortions across the United States on grounds of privacy rights deemed embedded in the Constitution.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade would be a story of enormous significance, and it is important that the AP cover it with the same accuracy, fairness and balance as it applies to all of its journalism.
