Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : All constitutional rights depend on the courts for enforcement.
46% : The courts have put that law on hold, but the state may commence enforcement after Roe is overturned.
42% : In December, during oral arguments in a case designed to overturn Roe, several justices all but announced that they will let states regulate abortion however they wish.
40% : The anti-abortion movement has moved beyond the legal regime of the early 1970s, which largely regulated abortion as a medical procedure, with penalties aimed at physicians.
39% : When abortion is criminalized, every uterus is a possible crime scene.
38% : When Roe is gone, 26 states will ban abortion.
37% : Conservative lawmakers who view abortion as homicide do not want it to be legal anywhere in America, and they are already trying to stop blue states, as well as the federal government, from facilitating it.
35% : It has already enacted a sweeping criminal ban on abortion with no exception for rape or incest that imposes up to a 10-year sentence and $100,000 fine on providers.
35% : It may be tempting to believe that, after Roe, the country will revert to the status quo ante: Many states will outlaw abortion, some states will permit it, and others will restrict it to limited circumstances.
