Contributing sentiments towards policy:

42% : LOS ANGELES (RNS) -- California will codify the right to abortion in the state's constitution after voters on Tuesday (Nov. 8) overwhelmingly approved a measure that Catholic bishops and other Christian leaders rallied against and prayed for its defeat.
39% : Critics, who also included conservative Protestant faith leaders, alleged that Proposition 1 "would remove all restrictions on abortion in California" and allow abortions up to the moment of birth.
34% : California's decision represents a second disappointment for American Catholic bishops, who took a strong stand supporting a proposed "no right to abortion" amendment in Kansas in August, only to see voters turn it back.
23% : In Kentucky, a proposed amendment declaring that no right to abortion exists went down to defeat, though abortion is banned by law in the state.
