Wade and precedent from the decisions that followed it are overturned. And now, a&nbsp;new poll from Politico\/Morning Consult shows how Americans might be looking at abortion heading into the midterm elections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/12\/07\/roe-v-wade-abortion-rights-poll-523856\">Politico<\/a>, \u201c42 percent of respondents to the poll said they would vote for a candidate who doesn\u2019t align with their views on abortion, compared to 32 percent who said that the candidate\u2019s stance will determine their vote. Another 26 percent were unsure or had no opinion on the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The poll also discovered that 44% of people who were part of the survey said they had heard \u201cnot much\u201d or \u201cnothing at all\u201d about the Mississippi case. Almost \u201ctwo-thirds either said they didn\u2019t know how likely the court was to overturn&nbsp;Roe&nbsp;or said the court isn\u2019t likely to overturn the precedent,\u201d the outlet added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The poll also went into details regarding how respondents consider abortion in general.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cA total of 52 percent of respondents said abortion should remain legal in most or all cases, compared to 36 percent who said it should be banned in most or all cases. And 45 percent said&nbsp;Roe&nbsp;should not be overturned, compared to 24 percent who said it should be,\u201d it added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The results of the poll might affect some races where Democrats are relying on an active base to rally voters in support of pro-abortion candidates. The reaction of politicians to the case heard by the Supreme Court, <em>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization,<\/em>&nbsp;has been largely focused on calling to codify Roe v. Wade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Currently, Roe and subsequent precedent&nbsp;hold that states have to allow a woman to be able to get an abortion up to the point of viability, or when the baby can survive on its own outside the womb. Most states hold this mark at around 20 to 24 weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), in light of the recent abortion focus, posted an old video of himself as a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/berniesanders\/status\/1467197587677761543?s=10\">candidate<\/a>&nbsp;on Twitter, saying, \u201cThe people of Vermont must have a representative who is a strong and unequivocal supporter of women\u2019s rights.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He added, \u201cWe must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. And if there aren\u2019t 60 votes to do it, and there are not, we must reform the filibuster to pass it with 50.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We can\u2019t go back to the days when women had to risk their lives to end an unwanted pregnancy.
