45% : "Abortion is hurtful, and I really wish that women had other choices in a tough situation," Janette Taylor said.
43% : The law, which went into effect Sept. 1, prohibits abortion after six weeks of pregnancy -- which is often before most people are aware they are pregnant.
40% : "Women can feel hopeless and like abortion is their only choice, and that saddens me.
39% : Abortion providers have said they are complying with the law, which has had the effect of severely curtailing abortion in the state.
37% : Texas is one of several conservative states that has adopted a so-called trigger ban, which would criminalize abortion to the extent permitted by the Supreme Court.
36% : Similar to SB 8, the law would not include exceptions in cases of rape or incest and would only permit abortion under rare circumstances, including when a woman's life is in danger.
33% : But depending on how the court handles a challenge to a Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, the past decisions establishing a right to abortion could be overturned.
