47% : "When abortion health centers begin to be at capacity for the care they're able to provide, we're also going to see stress on our health care system of people who are not able to go into a Planned Parenthood or another reproductive health center to access STI testing, treatment and prevention, birth control and pregnancy exams."
41% : A monumental decision handed down by the US Supreme Court on Friday, overturning Roe v. Wade and wiping out 50 years of federal protections for abortion rights, has advocates shocked and appalled, while conservatives praise the move that will result in nearly half of states outlawing abortion.
40% : However, some conservative lawmakers have celebrated the ruling and hinted they might introduce legislation to limit abortion.
37% : In the final opinion issued by Justice Samuel Alito, he wrote the "Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision..."The initial message from advocates and abortion-care providers in New Mexico is that the state remains a safe place for individuals seeking the procedure.
