Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Think here, for instance, of Engel v. Vitale, the 1962 decision that found public schools that opened the school day with a nondenominational prayer were violating the Constitution's prohibition on the establishment of religion.
54% : As Kristin Luker wrote, in her brilliant and underappreciated 1984 book Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood, abortion advocates "dismiss those who disagree with them as either ignorant of the facts or perversely unwilling to accept the truth when it is presented to them.
27% : For liberals, Roe was a piece of a series of important victories guaranteeing individual rights -- especially, Brown v. Board of Education, which swept away de jure race-segregated schools; Gideon v. Wainwright, which guaranteed criminal defendants the right of counsel; or Miranda v. Arizona, which called on law enforcement to inform those arrested of their constitutional rights.
