Contributing sentiments towards policy:
59% :Jesse Helms began his U.S. Senate career in 1973, the year the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision allowed for the federal constitutional right to abortion.46% : Given North Carolina's 72-hour waiting period, and without the option of an initial telehealth appointment, safe access to abortion is effectively denied to those already experiencing barriers to health care and those traveling from out of state to North Carolina for abortion care, what Republicans despicably refer to as "abortion tourism."
44% : North Carolina is the most recent Southern state to restrict access to abortion, in what amounts to an oppositional wave spanning from the South, to the Rust Belt, the Midwest, and beyond.
40% : He viewed abortion not as essential health care, but as the murder of children.
40% : Though my grandfather was unsuccessful in his fight to make abortion illegal nationwide, he was successful in his endeavor to undermine access to safe abortion on the international level via his Helms Amendment.
38% : The 50-year-old law restricts the use of U.S. foreign assistance funds for "abortion as a method of family planning," thereby denying millions of people access to safe abortion - even in countries where abortion is legal, even in conflict zones where sexual violence is rampant, and even in cases of rape, incest, and threat to the girl, woman or pregnant person's life.
32% : The endgame of the anti-abortion movement is to make abortion illegal in all 50 states.
