Gallup Pro-life/choice

My -best- guess, without looking at any of the raw polling data and doing any calculations (Which I learned to do this year, excitingly enough) I think it MIGHT be due to the drop in those who identify themselves as conservative and more people who consider themselves to be moderate.

Which makes more sense if you look at this:



...Which splits it up into the sections.

As you can see, the two cross at the end of the chart. Your chart is a magnified version of the end of mine, without the top line. The top line shows the moderate stance, I believe.

Maybe. I could be wrong.

Abortion is murder...

What do you think about the right of parents to refuse medical treatment for their kids?

Very respectable.

If you still think abortion is right you must be one very sick individual.

Haha. You're funny.

You know what is worse than that? When a child is born to a home that can't support it, or doesn't want it.

Abortions aren't just because think a baby is inconvenient at the moment. And besides, the procedure doesn't change a thing for me, I'm still completely pro choice.

pro choice... but you need to make up your mind early...

if you dont do it in the first few months just have the kid and give it to someone who wants one.

i dated a chick and a few months after we broke up found out she was 7 MONTHS pregnant... her mom was like "its hard to tell when you have an irregular period" that chick was fine for 28 days then bled for 3. i could set my damn watch to it. no way missing your period for 7 months is a surprise...

No, because both are still based on the idea of control over ones body. The fetus isn't a person, therefore it falls under jurisdiction, so to speak, of the women doing with "her body" as she deems fit. Assisted suicide is still someone doing with their body as they seem fit, but the government won't allow it. I am not saying you have to support either, simply pointing out the hypocrisy of allowing one and not the other. That's how I look at anyways.

Because it's not a child. And yeah, some people turn out great, just like how some people with great parents can wind up stealing cars and smoking meth. You can't predict their life. And my argument for pro choice is NOT "if we dont, then their lives will suck" that was just an observation about potential situations. I'm pro choice because I believe the parents have the right to choose whether they have a child or not, and I don't see it as a big deal. Personally.
