Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : "I want President Biden to do absolutely everything in his power to protect access to abortion in America -- let's really push the envelope to protect women in this country, and let's do it now," Washington Sen. Patty Murray, who chairs the Senate Committee on Health Education and Labor, told ABC News in a written statement last month, adding that she understood that there were limits to his authority.
48% : A public health emergency regarding abortion has been supported by members of Biden's own party as well as abortion rights advocates.
41% : Biden on Friday signed an executive order aimed at supporting access to abortion despite efforts in dozens of states to outlaw or severely restrict it.
27% : In the weeks since a five-justice majority on the court rejected Roe -- which has long been a goal of Republicans and conservatives who oppose abortion -- Biden has faced criticism from other Democrats and from progressives who say he should be acting more aggressively.
