| "A decision to overturn Roe v. Wade would be largely unprecedented in the Supreme Court's 233-year history, and could provide the legal framework for challenges to sexual privacy and same-sex marriage, legal scholars warned in the wake of a report suggesting the court could soon strike down its decades-old precedent protecting the right to an abortion." | Positive | 6% Conservative |
| "In this case, it may not only overrule Roe, but also the landmark 1992 decision in Plaed Parenthood v. Casey that largely upheld the right to an abortion." | Positive | 0% Conservative |
| "A nationwide abortion ban, restrictions on contraception, limits on same-sex marriage -- all could come to pass, said Laurence Tribe, a Constitutional law expert and Harvard Law School professor." | Negative | -8% Liberal |
| "Abortion is legal and will remain legal in Massachusetts, Attorney General Maura Healey wrote on Twitter following Politico's report." | Negative | -10% Liberal |
| "It's not at all challenging to read Justice Alito's opinion and see that it could be used to overrule marriage equality, sexual privacy and it can be read to allow states to restrict contraceptives." | Negative | -16% Liberal |
| "Should Roe v. Wade and Plaed Parenthood v. Casey be overturned, Massachusetts would still allow abortion up to 24 weeks into a pregnancy, or about five-and-a-half months." | Negative | -20% Liberal |
| "Politico's article included a leaked draft of Justice Samuel Alito's 98-page opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a case challenging Mississippi's ban on abortion after 15 weeks." | Negative | -32% Liberal |
| "Trump and J.D. Vance at a rally hosted by the former president at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Ohio on April 23J.D. Vance, the former globalist and current America Firster, completed an improbable comeback on Tuesday, wiing an Ohio Republican primary for U.S. Senate despite trailing by a wide margin for most of the race." | Positive | 6% Conservative |
| "But the real victor in the race was Donald Trump -- and the most telling loser was not the ruer-up, Josh Mandel." | Negative | -24% Liberal |
| "By endorsing candidates like Vance, Dr. Oz (leading narrowly in Pesylvania's Senate race), and former Senator David Perdue (currently trailing in Georgia's gubernatorial contest), Trump could claim credit for their victories and, in turn, ensure their fealty if and when he returned to the White House." | Negative | -26% Liberal |
