Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : If Roe is overturned, efforts to eliminate other vital rights, such as that of marriage equality, would all gain momentum.
45% : Washington, D.C. -- Decided 49 years ago, Roe v. Wade recognized the constitutional guarantees that demand the right to abortion in the nation.
44% : But now, despite almost 50 years of precedent, the U.S. Supreme Court is deciding whether or not to eliminate the right to abortion and change the contours of the U.S. Constitution, against the wishes of a strong majority of Americans.
40% : Make no mistake: The fight to overturn Roe isn't just about abortion.
29% : And if the court takes the extreme step of overturning Roe, more than half of all states are poised to make abortion illegal, the repercussions of which will be felt across the country.
