Poll question: Life or Choice Poll |
|
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 05:36 PM by LittleClarkie
I've tried to be as inclusive as possible, including probably language of each stance.
I suspect one of the choices is where most average folks tend to stand. We shall see.

1. There is no 'other' for males who believe it is none of their |
|
business. It is not a choice I could ever have to make.
This, of course, doesn't stop anti-choice males from making it their business. I've noticed that the most virulent anti-choice advocates are male.

so that the whole wording fits. Hopefully I left my original meanings intact too.

12. WOW! You are a great man! You are the first man I have ever heard |
|
express the sentiment that if you have a penis it's not up to you to decide how childbearing should be conducted. So true, and yet, this excapes most men. As I am sure you and I will agree, the way a REAL man avoids his babies being aborted is by being careful which women he makes pregnant and how he treats them after he has made them pregnant. Beyond that, any control over the issue that men may think they have is purely delusional.

2. Pro choice and pro life people (excluding extremists on both sides) all |

want the same thing- Less Abortions! The new stereotypes should be pro-government and pro-body not pro life and pro choice. That's really what we're debating about.
IMO, I believe our government should not interfere with our bodies. Yet, at the same time, I would do anything in my power to talk someone out of an abortion. Ultimately, however, it would be their choice to make.
I wish pro life individuals would just take a look at history. Making abortions illegal will not make abortions go away. It'll only make it worse. You want horror stories just look at what young, naive girls used to do to themselves in the mid 1900's when they were faced with an unwanted pregnancy and abortions weren't legal.
A government crackdown is not the answer! Sex education, social services, and birth control usage is what will bring down abortion rates, not G.W. and the Supreme Court.

3. I would personally use the terms "anti-abortion" and "pro-choice" |
|
rather than "pro-life" and "pro-choice."
Some would say "pro-life" is just "pro-birth," but I don't think that's necessarily the case for all pro-lifers. Meaning that a miscarriage would be one thing, but actively aborting another; thus some considering themselves "pro-life" would say they are not technically just "pro-birth." (I think.)

4. Where's the choice for... |
|
... sick to death of the phony abortion wedge "issue"?
Technically, I'm pro-choice, but don't care for abortion as contraception, but I'm sick of it being treated as an "issue" when it's just a wedge used by sleazebag republicans to con their fundie lemmings into coming to the polls for them.

They are not prolife but proBIRTH. If they were truly prolife, they would care about what happens to all these children AFTER they are born and they DON'T.

Most of these people could not care less about the child after it's born.

9. Indeed, vote other then |
|
As Kerry said on MTP, Bush likely doesn't even want to overturn Roe v Wade, or he'd lose that wedge issue.

I am adamantly, staunchly, firmly, committedly pro-choice, without qualifiers or modifiers. If a woman wants to get an abortion every year like clockwork as a kind of spring cleaning, I'll think she's nuts, but it's still her damn business and nobody else's.
I am open to semantics games to win more votes, however. :thumbsup:

11. I am been in agreement with you |
|
If we can tell a woman what she can do with her body, they will try to tell a man what he can do with his body.
