The abortion divide: What blue states must do in this moment

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : State lawmakers all across the country should follow the lead of their counterparts with the same zeal that we're seeing from anti-abortion extremists.
42% : Arizona is not alone: Twenty-one states have at least four highly restrictive abortion laws, which already push abortion out of reach for far too many people, and taking their greatest toll on low-income individuals, Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities, immigrants, disabled and rural communities.
42% : There are now 17 states whose legislatures have enacted explicit protections for reproductive rights, decriminalized abortion, or both - half of them in the last three years.
33% : (Paul Weaver/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, a Republican, just signed his second abortion ban in two years into law - modeled on the Mississippi law banning abortion at 15 weeks, which is at the center of the Supreme Court's leaked draft ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
29% : Abortion advocates and providers like us are in full agreement with those waging a relentless campaign to eliminate abortion access: the Dobbs case is expected to gut the remaining constitutional protections for the right to abortion, which will open the floodgates of state laws to outlaw abortion.
