WinDis Polls - 1: Abortion

[k-onmmunist]

New series of polls I'm running to collect forum opinion on certain issues. This will run for a week, then I will move onto the next one. No middle ground, just a straight out question: are you pro-life or pro-choice?

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Pro-life, unequivocally.

[SvenssonRS]

Pro-choice and always will be.

[k-onmmunist]

I am pro-choice and support restoring the 28 week limit.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Pro-life and always will be.

[Psychic Octopus]

A quite complicated version of pro-choice in the first and second trimester, and pro-life in the third trimester.

[Mechaman]

Avowedly pro-choice, but against tax funding for abortion. (the government shouldn't take money out of someone who is morally opposd to abortion to fund someone else's abortion)

I agree with this as well. Stem cell research should occur in the private sector, not in the halls of government.

Yeah.. all non-life threatening surgery should be dealt with privately. I support public funding for abortion only if it would be life threatening not to have an abortion - i.e. risk to the mother's life.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

I am pro-choice and support restoring the 28 week limit.

That's pretty disgusting. The limit is already 24 weeks too high.

How is it disgusting? Forcing women to have backstreet abortions and possibly die in the process - THAT is disgusting.

Committing murder is not excused just because it occurs in a backstreet alleyway and the attempted murderer happens to be risking her own life.

Amen.

And it's not like a clinic abortion can't kill the woman.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Oh, and on a side note, no one is "forced" to have a backstreet abortion.

[k-onmmunist]

Oh, and on a side note, no one is "forced" to have a backstreet abortion.

Making something abortion illegal is coercion, so yes they are.

[Obnoxiously Slutty Girly Girl]

Um, this is not Nazi Germany or Red China. Nobody is forced to have an abortion.

And Winston, I'm not in favor of forced abortions, I'm in favor of no abortions at all, regardless of where they take place.

I know. And I'm pointing out the weaknesses in your position. If people have backstreet abortions, they not only risk their own life, they risk their babies life too. Therefore, you've actually indirectly led to deaths of fetuses anyway.

Um, once again, nobody is forcing them to get abortions. They brought this upon themselves.

So? Clinical abortions have resulted in maternal deaths too. They risk their own life regardless of where the abortion takes place.

Oh, and what Libertas said.

[You kip if you want to...]

I'm staunchly pro-choice.

[Joe Republic]

What a ridiculous poll.  This is far from a black-and-white issue.

[k-onmmunist]

What a ridiculous poll.  This is far from a black-and-white issue.

Not really. You either support abortion on request or you don't.

Or you simply don't care.  How should I vote in this poll?

Don't care, don't vote. Abortion is an issue most people with an interest in politics have some opinion on.
