Is it a bad thing that we found out in advance how the justices were going to rule? Really?

Why was it leaked?
Oh that's right, to terrify one of justices into changing his or her vote. As we speak the leftist "peaceful protests" and death threats have already begone.
Is "leaking" info to encouraging threats and intimidation illegal? I don't think so. Is it a good idea? I'm not sure.
Would the left be crying "terrorism and treason" if we pulled this shit against a liberal judge? Abso-freaking-lutly.

Exactly

We don’t know who leaked it — for all we know it could have been an abortion opponent who wanted to turn the conversation into one about ”Leftist leakers” rather than the substance of the decision, millions of women heading into a future out of the Handmaid’s Tale.

I don’t think SCOTUS will be influenced by anything so small as public outrage, protests, and pronouncements. They’ve made it clear again and again that they don’t care, Alito’s opinion is chock full of it. But we’ll see.

Stay tuned!

Sidebar:
If you actually read the leak or roe v. wade, you'd know: even if the supreme court reversed roe v wade, it wouldn't change the number of abortions by any significant number.
The supreme court's original decision: the right to privacy overrides states rights to enforce criminal law, was always built on a shaky (non constitutional) ground.
Can you imagine if that standard was used for any other state or federal law? Obomer care woulda been illegal (it's none of your business if I have health insurance. That's an invasion of privacy!) All child abuse laws would be illegal (it's none of your business what I do to my kids in the privacy of my own home!) Etcetera.
So even if roe v wade got overturned, you could keep using infanticide as a contraception device. You just couldn't move to Texas, cause of heartbeat laws.

Yeah.
We know exactly who leaked it.
The people who benefit from the leak.

Who benefits? Good question! Let’s make a short-list of possible suspects:

—A woman who personally cares about having control over her uterus
—A man or woman who cares about women generally having control over their uterii
—A Rightie trying to frame Lefties
—A chaos agent with no real agenda
—Tristan Snell, former New York Assistant Attorney General
—Me

That narrows it down! I’ll forward this for Chief Justice Roberts’ attention

Right.
Good try tho.

What's wrong with Handmaid's Tale?
I've never read it. Not really a big fan of fiction novels myself.
