Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : That section of the bill is part of a nationwide push by anti-abortion groups to limit the ability of physicians to prescribe abortion pills by telemedicine, and comes in response to the increased use of pills rather than surgery to terminate early pregnancies.
41% : The strict limits on abortion weren't the only social issues legislation taken up by Republican lawmakers during the frenzied veto session.
39% : Demonstrators' chants echoed through Kentucky's Capitol on Wednesday as Republican lawmakers started pushing aside the Democratic governor's veto of a bill putting new restrictions on abortion -- including banning the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
