50% :The U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs opinion last June overturned the constitutional right to an abortion that stood for nearly half a century following the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973 and the Casey v. Planned Parenthood decision in 1992.
45% : The Democratic attorneys general wrote in their brief the Texas judge's ruling "could eviscerate the sovereign decisions of many amici States by disrupting access to mifepristone across the country, including in States where abortion is lawful."
42% : "The availability of mifepristone has been particularly critical in providing access to abortion in low-income, underserved, and rural communities where a nonmedication abortion procedure (or 'procedural abortion') may be unavailable," they wrote.
31% : The 50 U.S. senators and 190 U.S. House members wrote the Texas ruling "threatens the Congressionally mandated drug approval process, and poses a serious health risk to pregnant individuals by making abortion more difficult to access."
