Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Mistie DelliCarpini-Tolman, state director of Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates in Idaho, told Yahoo News last month that the laws being passed across the nation are the "culmination of a decade-long campaign by anti-abortion extremists to secure this conservative majority of the Supreme Court.

47% : The state previously allowed abortion up to 24 weeks into pregnancy.
47% : The law went into effect immediately and is already facing legal challenges from Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union.
47% : The law bans abortion after six weeks -- before many women know they're pregnant -- and would allow the mother, grandparents, siblings, aunts or uncles of either parent to sue medical personnel who provide an abortion up to four years after it takes place.
42% : The spate of laws come along with the expectation that the U.S. Supreme Court is set to overturn or at least weaken Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that legalized abortion nationwide, when it rules on a Mississippi abortion ban later this year.
42% : Fifty-five percent of respondents said abortion is a constitutional right that women in all states should have some access to, versus 29% who said it's something individual states should be able to outlaw.
40% : According to the Guttmacher Institute, a think tank that supports abortion rights, 26 states are certain or likely to ban abortion if Roe v. Wade is overturned as expected.
37% : The law bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy and does not provide exceptions for incest or rape.
