Wendy Davis and Donna Howard, defenders of abortion access, worry the worst is yet to come after Roe decision

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : Ad "The courts have been able to be a backstop to anti-abortion legislation and efforts throughout these many years," Howard said.
44% : "The courts have basically turned their backs on the majority of Americans who support access to abortion."
39% : The Supreme Court ruling Friday was the culmination of a decadeslong, unrelenting campaign by anti-abortion advocates to overturn Roe v. Wade, Davis and Howard said.
38% : Ad Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in a concurring opinion Friday that the court should reconsider rulings upholding rights to contraception, same-sex relationships and same-sex marriages.
33% : "The way the laws have been written to ban abortion have been done in such a way that they have not considered the impacts on the lives of so many of us, the damage that is done, the hurt that is forced upon us."
31% : Texas has a trigger law, which means the overturning of Roe v. Wade will automatically make abortion illegal in Texas, with no exceptions for rape or incest.
8% : Davis and Howard also emphasized that abortion will not go away after the ruling -- its illegality just forces people to resort to more dangerous methods to terminate pregnancies.
