Contributing sentiments towards policy:

41% :With the leaked draft of the Supreme Court opinion suggesting the high court is set to overturn the landmark law legalizing abortion nationwide, Descano said he thinks "that is going to set off a torrent of anti-women laws all across the country, including potentially in the Commonwealth of Virginia."
39% : Criminalizing abortion would jeopardize a woman's privacy in many instances, said Descano.
