Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : For months, proponents of Issue 1 claimed it wasn't about abortion, only to admit behind closed doors that it actually was.
43% : Though abortion is central to the Issue 1 fight, it's far from the only policy that would be impacted.
39% : One new poll showed that 59 percent of Ohioans supported a proposal to legalize abortion, which would fail to pass under the GOP's new rules.
37% : When the bill received a hearing in the legislature, the only person who testified in favor of it was a representative from an obscure think tank in Florida, the Foundation for Government Accountability, that received nearly $18 million from Uihlein.
22% : In his majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, Justice Samuel Alito claimed he was simply returning "the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives' in the states."
