50% : With few legal avenues to act along to protect abortion rights, Democrats have been urging voters to elect more pro-choice candidatesPro-choice and pro-life protesters have been demonstrating outside the Supreme Court ever since a leaked draft opinion exposed the court's potential plan to scuttle abortion protections'This vote clearly suggests that the Senate is not where the majority of Americans are on this issue,' the vice president said.'A priority for all that care about this issue - the priority - should be to elect pro-choice leaders.'
47% : The administration said she would 'emphasize that the Administration will continue to defend women's constitutional rights and protect access to abortion.'
43% : Other exemptions include women, who are victims of rape, sexual assault or incest that has been reported to law enforcement.
