Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Hale was hostile to abortion, but he also held a dim view of women's speech and its legitimacy.
50% : In reporting for the non-profit news outlet Prism, Ashton Lattimore writes that the model bill, which National Right to Life hopes will be adopted by state legislatures, seeks to impose both criminal and civil penalties for actions such as "aiding and abetting" abortion, terms defined so broadly as to include "hosting or maintaining a website, or providing an internet service, that encourages or facilitates efforts to obtain an illegal abortion".
45% : That information about abortion is overwhelmingly both sought and provided by women, and that abortion rights advocacy is a form of speech overwhelmingly made by women, is not a coincidence.
41% : Now the activist group National Right to Life, an anti-choice organization that has been influential in pushing state legislatures to the right on women's rights, is proposing bans on speech about abortion.
31% : Powerful men are using defamation lawsuits to shut down allegations against them, and anti-choice groups are trying to pass laws criminalizing speech about abortion
