47% : "I think we should follow in the steps of France, who codified the right to an abortion in their constitution after watching Roe V. Wade being overturned in the U.S."Ruth Leitman, director of the new documentary film, "No One Asked You," that follows comedian, writer and activist Lizz Winstead as she travels across the country to clinics to reduce abortion stigma, says, "It boggles my mind how little we talk about abortion as an economic issue and as a health care issue, and how it has become so politicized.
43% : "It doesn't look like the Supreme Court is considering it, but if the Court decided to apply the Comstock Act in this case, that would effectively be a national abortion ban.
