45% : Rob Hill, the Human Rights Campaign's Mississippi executive director, said Roe falling and bills like Florida's measure to limit discussions in schools about sexual orientation and gender identity -- labeled by critics as the "Don't Say Gay" bill -- may embolden Republican lawmakers to ramp up their efforts.
43% : It's a sentiment felt among many in the LGBTQ community -- that preventing access to abortion and preventing gender-affirming care to patients, as has been pushed in many states, represent the same sort of governmental overreach on historically marginalized groups.
