Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : President Joe Biden has signed another executive order aimed at protecting access to abortion on a federal level.
47% :It's still so upsetting that we've ended up here, but it's heartening to see specific actions being taken to protect access to abortion, and to address the extensive ramifications of throwing wide-ranging forms of healthcare into legal uncertainty for exactly zero benefit.
45% : In July, Biden signed an EO that tasked a number of different federal agencies with coming up with plans to protect abortion.
42% : Biden's EO proposes using Medicaid -- a federal program -- to help people access abortion in other states.
39% : The order also addresses the recent crisis of patients being denied prescription medications for issues and illnesses unrelated to abortion because pharmacists and other medical professionals fear the medications could potentially be used as "abortifacients."
25% : Biden's order suggests that this could be a violation of federal non-discrimination laws.
