46% : Unlike abortion, there is no active state lawsuit challenging Wisconsin's legislative maps, which the Wisconsin Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court decided last year in rulings that benefitted Republicans.
44% : The ban prohibits abortion unless it's to save the life of the mother.
40% : Future of abortion, redistricting
39% : Protasiewicz and prominent Democrats have framed the race as a referendum on abortion policy after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a constitutional right to abortion, reactivating a moribund state law that prohibits almost all abortions.
37% :Criminal justice bills, 'conversion therapy' approved by Wisconsin LegislatureMarquette Law School polling in November found that 84% of respondents -- including 73% of Republicans -- think abortion should be legal for victims of rape or incest.
36% : Kelly wasn't nearly as vocal about the issue, but in a since-deleted 2012 blog post he described abortion as "a policy deadly to children."
29% : Beyond abortion and redistricting, a Protasiewicz victory could buoy unions, whose power and reach were decimated by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 legislation more than a decade ago.
27% : Kelly said Protasiewicz' ads focusing on his past work with Republicans and representation of criminal defendants lied about his past.
