45% : "Abortion is legal, we prepared Illinois for this, and we're going to fight to keep it legal and accessible," she said.
43% : "The immediate question will become 'how do we protect young Missourians, young Iowans, from being taken over the border to Illinois and being killed?"Travel bans are already being considered.
43% : "For 50 years we've thought about (abortion) as a constitutional right and a medical procedure.
36% : The legislative and legal battleground that is abortion has changed dramatically with the U.S. Supreme Court decision today that hands back issues of reproductive rights to the 50 states.
32% : Now we've moved in just one day to where, in some states abortion will be akin to murder."
