One Year Without Roe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "It was a very different time, when there were also high levels of harassment against abortion providers," said Dr. Sarah Wallett, chief medical operating officer for Planned Parenthood of Michigan.
48% : But with every new threat, there have been efforts to protect and expand abortion access: 20 states have passed new measures to enshrine the right to abortion, shield patients and providers from prosecution, or invest millions in funding for abortion care.
41% : Another dozen could follow in the near future, and there's always the possibility that if Republicans emerge victorious in the 2024 presidential election, they could pursue banning abortion at the national level.
41% : The researchers noted that seasonality, abortion providers increasing their capacity to serve patients, a decline in stigma around abortion, and an increase in funding and practical support might have contributed to those spikes.
38% : She'd long opposed abortion -- until she learned in April that the child she was expecting had trisomy 18, a rare genetic disorder that is usually fatal.
37% : It really felt like I was navigating the black market like some sort of criminal.
37% : Abortion is often looked at as a selfish choice.
34% : My gut was that she didn't know where we stood on abortion and didn't want to get in trouble.
30% :A Planned Parenthood clinic in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was targeted last July by an arsonist who had a history of calling abortion "genocide" on social media.
29% : The harassment and violence has gotten worse over time, as public figures have talked about abortion negatively and in really stigmatizing ways.
