Florida, South Carolina could soon follow Texas' lead on abortion ban

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

50% : The states - which like Texas both have Republican governors - could follow the lead of the 'Texas Heartbeat Act,' which took effect earlier this week and bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected at about six weeks gestation.
48% : 'As an adoptive child myself, it's important to me that we do everything we can to promote adoption and prevent abortion; therefore, I think it's worthwhile to take a look at the Texas law and see if there is more we can do here in Florida.'
47% : The 'Texas Heartbeat Act,' which took effect earlier this week, bans abortion once a fetal heartbeat can be detected, usually around six weeks, before a woman even realizes she's pregnant.
47% : 'Abortion kills children and forever changes the life of the mother, the father, and the entire extended family,' Simpson said in a statement obtained by the Naples Daily News.
47% : Anti-abortion campaigners have intensified their efforts since Donald Trump was elected president and appointed two conservative justices to the US Supreme Court, hopeful they can convince the right-leaning court to re-examine Roe v. Wade.
40% : 'The Heartbeat bill' Multiple governors have signed legislation outlawing abortion if a doctor can detect a so-called 'fetal heartbeat,' part of a concerted effort to restrict abortion rights in states across the country.
39% : Roe v. Wade: The landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in America
38% : The landmark ruling legalized abortion nationwide but divided public opinion and has been under attack ever since.
35% : Georgia, Ohio, Missouri, and Louisiana have enacted 'heartbeat laws' recently, and Alabama passed an even more restrictive version in May, amounting to a near total ban on abortion from the moment of conception.
