"The WNBA believes all women have the right to autonomy over their bodies and fair and equal access to health care," the statement read. "We will continue to support and advocate for women and their personal decisions regarding their health. We must also act to protect women’s rights, and elections have consequences. That is why civic engagement and voting rights will remain a focus as we tip off the 2022 WNBA season."

The Atlanta Dream put out a statement on Tuesday.

"We at the Atlanta Dream fundamentally support the right for a woman to make decisions over her own body," the organization said.

"If Roe v. Wade is overturned, it will harm women and, disproportionally, marginalized communities. We vow to continue to uplift the voices of women and girls, as well as members of the Atlanta community."

Washington Mystics forward Tianna Hawkins was among the players reacting to the leaked draft.

"I don’t think there’s ever a situation where someone who is not yourself should say, ‘Oh, well, you can’t keep your baby,’ or, ‘You should keep your baby,’ or stuff like that… you should have the freedom to do that," Hawkins, who has a 6-year-old son, said Tuesday, via The Washington Post.
