Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : That includes 13 states that have "trigger bans," as well as some other states where anti-abortion laws have been blocked by the courts.
40% : Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who played a role in preserving the seat left vacant by the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and paving the way for a Republican-appointed conservative majority, said Friday's ruling is a "historic victory." "The Court has corrected a terrible legal and moral error, like when Brown v. Board overruled Plessy v. Ferguson," McConnell wrote in a statement, referencing the 1954 decision that effectively ended racial segregation in public schools.
35% : Republican leaders are lauding the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion at a national level, while Democrats are decrying what they call the revocation of women's rights.
