The elected Democrat letter’s signatories include:

• Four governors and lieutenant governors , including the current governor of Louisiana, John Bel Edwards

• 57 state legislators, including Rep. Deborah Fellela, Deputy Majority Leader in Rhode Island; and Katrina Jackson, State Senator in Louisiana

According to the last national Gallup Poll on abortion (2019), nearly 30% of Democratic voters, and 44% of Independent voters identify as pro-life. According to a January Marist Poll, about two-thirds (65%) of all Americans, including 44% of Democrats, say they “are more likely to vote for” candidates who would limit abortion to at most the first three months of pregnancy.
