Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : "The fact is, California is a state where abortion is legal," James added.
42% : The only vote to keep the resolution on the agenda came from Councilman Steve Knoblock, who drafted the resolution to say the city "stands firmly against" abortion, recognizes that life begins at conception, and expresses opposition to Planned Parenthood clinics in the coastal community of nearly 65,000 people.
41% : After garnering national attention over a proposed resolution that would ban abortion and make the city a "sanctuary for life," a Southern California city has ditched it.
