59% : The medical community recognizes abortion as a safe and essential component of women's healthcare."
48% : "If you are choosing medical management, the treatment is the same [as for abortion]; you give [mifepristone] and then the patient takes misoprostol at home.
47% :The American Medical Association did not take a position on the measure, but has filed a "friend of the court" brief in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the Supreme Court case in which a leaked draft decision suggested that the court was ready to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
44% : Abortion rights advocates are decrying a law passed by the Oklahoma legislature last week that would ban all abortions in the state from the moment of fertilization, with exceptions for rape and incest only if they are reported to law enforcement.
38% : "Oklahomans are sending a strong message that all unborn children and their mothers in the Sooner State deserve urgent protection from the brutality of abortion," SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement.
34% : And there's really no rhyme or reason other than a radical attempt to just abuse people, create chaos, and wreak as much havoc as they can possibly do on people who are seeking abortion and the providers who provide it."
