Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : After a leaked draft opinion last month suggested the Supreme Court was ready to overturn the constitutional right to abortion, the group she leads, In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda, began to make concerted efforts to reach Black women voters across the country.
44% : In the wake of the leaked draft, Blount, who is an epidemiologist, said her organization has been collecting and reviewing data to determine how to legally provide women access to medication abortion, especially in places like Mississippi, which has one abortion clinic, and in states that have trigger laws that would ban abortion immediately if Roe is overturned.
42% : In response to the leaked draft, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced the Justice for All Pledge, $500,000 to help residents and people seeking abortions in neighboring states "that have or ultimately will ban abortion if the Supreme Court decides to strike down Roe v. Wade, as outlined in the leaked decision."
24% : After the draft leaked, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., raised the possibility of a nationwide abortion ban, Howell said, which contradicts claims by Republicans that abortion should have always been a state issue.
