Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% :SBA Pro-Life America's Katie Glenn nailed it concerning Montana (emphasis mine): "I think that one's different than the other four, which are all very much time-gestational bans, in that this is not a pro-life/pro-choice issue.
52% :California allows abortion until viability, which is accepted at 24 weeks, even though there are many cases of babies born before that surviving birth.
48% : Article 11/Proposal 5 promotes abortion and amplifies the state's acceptance of abortion: "That an individual's right to personal reproductive autonomy is central to the liberty and dignity to determine one's own life course and shall not be denied or infringed unless justified by a compelling State interest achieved by the least restrictive means."
47% : Like California, Michigan allows abortion up to viability or after to save the mom.
47% : Vermont allows abortion up until birth.
43% : Michigan's Proposal 3 applies to the state's constitution: "proposal to amend the state constitution to establish new individual right to reproductive freedom, including right to make all decisions about pregnancy and abortion; allow state to regulate abortion in some cases; and forbid prosecution of individuals exercising established right."
40% : California, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, and Vermont voted on abortion on Tuesday.
39% : It reads: "To protect human life, nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or require the funding of abortion."
38% : As a state, Kentucky currently prohibits abortion with exceptions for saving a woman's life or preventing serious risk to her physical health.
32% : Amendment 2 would have protected babies born alive after botched abortions:Kentucky voted on a pro-life measure -- Amendment 2 -- which says the state's constitution does not protect abortion.
