I thank the Senator for her stalwart support for all the years I have known her, for the principles and the law of Roe v. Wade, to ensure that the women of America have the right to choose. I thank her for her stalwart support, and I thank her for her comments this afternoon on behalf of this amendment I have offered. I ask the Senator this question. We heard from our friend from Pennsylvania about certain polls that were taken about a certain procedure and this and that. But this amendment is about Roe v. Wade. Is the Senator familiar with polls taken in this country from women about whether or not they would support keeping Roe v. Wade or overturning Roe v. Wade? Is the Senator familiar with some of those polls?
