Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : This was before the U.S. Supreme Court turned the decision over to the states to decide whether abortion is legal in the Dobbs decision.
40% : "Today's ruling is a sigh of relief for Georgians who have suffered the severe consequences of Gov. Kemp's ban on abortion from the earliest weeks of pregnancy, which is causing particular harm among Black and low-income communities," said Julia Kaye, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union's Reproductive Freedom Project.
33% : Judge Robert McBurney of Fulton County said sections of the Living Infants Fairness and Equality Act passed in 2019 were unconstitutional when drafted and enacted, therefore there is "no legal basis" for the ban which has banned abortion after six weeks.
