A better abortion poll that is still horribly flawed

[Person Man]

Pick your poison. The 3rd-to-bottom option says as an alternative that abortion is murder, but you don't believe in the death penalty.

[tik 🪀✨]

No penalty.

We should offer incentives for women not to have abortions, but it should still be their choice.

Told you it was horribly flawed. Thanks for taking the poll.

[Person Man]

At least this one is better.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

No penalty

[Eraserhead]

That was easy. I only had to read one of the options.

[7,052,770]

None.

The way to prevent abortion is through early sex education and available contraceptives.  Jailing women who have one isn't going to bring the rate down.

[DownWithTheLeft]

I voted the option about being against the Death Penalty but against abortion

If we illegalize abortions, a lot of the time the mother will get her due having a backdoor abortion.  If someone is found guilty of having an abortion, it should constitute 1st degree murder, you killed someone w/premeditation.  I think the amount of these cases would not be enough to completly overcrowd prisons.  The pro-life organization is becoming the most successful campaign in terms of changing opinions ever.  Let people convicted of victimless crimes out, not murderers

[Хahar 🤔]

Option uno.

Um, what?

Take a look at the statistics on abortions, the rate is dropping drastically

That's thanks to sex education and greater availability of contraceptives, not because people are just up and becoming pro-life.

That's a debate for another thread I guess, the country is certainly moving pro-life.  I've also thought that in 20 years the country will do a 180 on gay marriage and abortion, and then some.  The country will be 70% in favor of gay marriage and 70% opposed to abortion.

[JSojourner]

Ask Tom Coburn and Gary North.  Of course, in Coburn's defense, he only believes the abortionist should be executed.  North wants to see the abortionist, mother and any other facilitators put to death.  Preferably by stoning.

Yes.  I kid you not.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Death penalty.

[JSojourner]

Death penalty.

For the abortive women, the abortionist or just everyone involved?

[Gustaf]

This may actually be the worse abortion poll I've ever seen.

[afleitch]

No penalty.

Not Really- http://www.pollingreport.com/abortion.htm. In the last twelve years, support for aborion has collapsed from 58% to 57% ...maybe a plurality will be pro-life by 2100.

...and how come there are countries that are like 80% pro-life and have 25% percent more abortions?

Abortion is not a major issue for me but I notice that the question here is quite flawed.

Since when does a typical abortion involve a situation in which a the abortive mother would be permanently damaged in some way if the abortion did not take place?

The pregnancy was wanted, but other things came up that would make her unable to care for the child and difficult for her to put the child up for adoption or for the child to be adopted. OR The pregnancy is so unwanted, she might contemplate suicide or be unable to take care of herself or have other children if she brought the child to term.

The Pro-lifers are actually across the board on this- what are some reasons for this?

And since when are those situations typical?  Also, while I'll certainly grant that carrying a child to term and then giving it up for adoption because the mother is either unwilling or unable to care for it after birth will cause a considerable disruption in that mother's life, it doesn't normally create permanent damage.

Well, the child may never be adopted and sometimes it does cause psychosis to carry a child to term and give it up on the spot. Then again, there are open adoptions and that lowers these incidents.

The question is, well, flawed and confusing
