Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : The abortion amendment would give individuals the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions, including on contraception, fertility treatment, abortion and miscarriage care, until a fetus is viable outside the womb.
43% : AP VoteCast polling last year found that 59% of Ohio voters say abortion should generally be legal.
41% : Protect Women Ohio, the campaign against the fall abortion question, has spent millions on the August election -- airing ads suggesting the measure not only codifies abortion, but could pressure children into receiving gender-affirming care and undercut parental rights.
36% : READ MORE: Some Republican officials are trying to keep abortion off of state ballots.
