Nicola Sturgeon and Joe Biden condem threat to US abortion rights

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : A decision to overrule Roe would lead to abortion bans in roughly half American states, spark new efforts in Democratic-leaning states to protect access to abortion, and potentially reshape the contours of this year's hotly contested midterm elections.
39% : The document was labelled a "1st Draft" of the "Opinion of the Court" in a case challenging Mississippi's ban on abortion after 15 weeks, a case known as Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organisation.
35% : "It is time to heed the constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives."
31% : And experience tells us that removing the legal right to abortion doesn't stop abortions happening - it just makes them unsafe and puts the lives of women at much greater risk."
