39% : A Democrat-led legislation to codify U.S. women's reproductive rights, including the right to abortion nationwide, failed to pass in the Senate earlier this month after it fell short of the 60-vote threshold to avoid filibuster.
37% : Oklahoma recently implemented a law banning abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy.
37% : The bill's passage comes as a leaked draft of Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade could upend a decades-old ruling that legalized abortion in the country.
