Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Abortion is legal up to the point of viability outside the body -- roughly 24 weeks into a pregnancy.
41% : A horrendous new Texas law scheduled to go into effect Wednesday would ban abortion when a fetal heartbeat is detected -- typically around six weeks of gestation -- and turn individuals into antiabortion vigilantes by empowering them to file civil suits against anyone who provided an abortion or helped procure one.
39% : It's not surprising that it was concocted by a state legislature notorious for its efforts to hinder women from accessing abortion.
30% : Nowhere in the U.S. is abortion banned as early as six weeks.
