Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : So what about a state that wants to subvert speech rights, freedom of religion or the Second Amendment?
43% : The justices appeared uneasy with the precedent that law would setTWO MONTHS ago, with one paragraph of explanation, a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court green-lit Texas's ban on abortion at six weeks of pregnancy -- 18 weeks before Roe v Wade says states can step in to protect fetal life.
42% : SB 8 aims to thwart lawsuits in federal courts by taking enforcement out of the hands of state actors (the usual targets of suits challenging a law's constitutionality) and empowering private citizens to sue anyone performing, aiding or abetting an illicit abortion.
