Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : It'd be one thing if it embraced the basic Western European approach of only permitting abortion the first 12 weeks.
46% : As my National Review colleague John McCormack notes, the Democratic bill creates a right to abortion before "fetal viability," or the threshold when the fetus is likely to survive outside the womb.
45% :This would effectively ensure a right to abortion through nine months, a position that has the support of 10% of the public, according to the Harvard/Harris poll.
45% : It shows the same judgment and discernment that had elements of the party talking about defunding the police or abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
42% : According to the poll, 37% want to permit abortion only in cases of rape and incest, 12% to permit it only before six weeks, and 23% after 15 weeks.
40% : The Democrats held congressional hearings on abortion and perhaps the most memorable moments were the witnesses holding forth on how men can supposedly get pregnant and exhibiting hesitance to condemn infanticide.
35% : There's a perception in the popular mind that overturning Roe is tantamount to banning abortion everywhere, and it's simply not true.
