Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : However, the result may not be clear as the president suggests in a country where only 34% support abortion in the second trimester and only 19% in the third trimester.
45% : The court stated that, "Abortion is fundamentally different, as both Roe and Casey acknowledged."
45% : Nevertheless, the majority of justices said that some critics of the Dobbs decision would make this claim and noted that "perhaps this is designed to stoke unfounded fear that our decision will imperil those other rights."Even Justice Clarence Thomas, who called for a re-examination of the constitutional basis for rights like contraception, expressly stated, "I agree that '[n]othing in [the Court's] opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion.'"Biden is not alone in seeking to exploit a problem not created by the opinion.
42% : The court did not outlaw abortion or favor any particular outcome beyond telling people to "vote, vote, vote, vote."
39% : In overturning Roe v. Wade, the court ruled that millions of citizens, not nine justices, must now decide the question of abortion.
37% : In its decision, the court said that in 1973 "Roe abruptly ended [a] political process" of states dealing with the issue of abortion.
