PolitiFact - All abortion bans include exceptions for a mother's life. But are they working?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Eighty-two percent of people polled in April said they support abortion when it is deemed necessary to "protect the life and health of the pregnant person."
46% : In a statement about the investigation's findings, Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra reiterated that protections for patients seeking emergency care include abortion.
45% : "Might abortion be permissible in a patient with pulmonary hypertension, for whom we cite a 30-to-50% chance of dying with ongoing pregnancy?
42% : "That's a win for people who are opposed to abortion."
39% : But as 25 states have banned abortion or tightened restrictions in the year since the Supreme Court issued its landmark ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, attempts to codify these exceptions have left doctors and their patients in a complicated limbo.
39% : In a July 2022 letter to medical providers, the Biden administration said that under the law, even in states that ban abortion, physicians "must provide" the procedure if it is required to stabilize a woman's health.
34% :Abortion may be one of the most divisive issues in American discourse, but polls show most Americans agree on one thing: Doctors should be free to perform emergency abortions when a pregnant woman's life is in danger.
