I've been in so many abortion "debates" (blazing rows) now, that I think I've heard every argument. My memory isn't perfect, but I've tried to save us all some time by creating the following "Abortion survey".

Now, instead of writing lengthy prose with a chance of misunderstanding, you can just complete and post this survey...

Wouldn't it be better if there was a private poll for this ? Has it will only more than likely cause more problems.

It's mostly actually intended as a collection of all abortion arguments, so everyone can see all the factors that are being taken into account. Most people focus on one or two aspects of the argument.

And no, it won't be better as a private poll.

Thank you spiderswing432, Thank you USA. As I imagined it's absolutely fascinating to get such a clear insight into a person's views on the matter, without having to extract it from emotional prose.

I'd love to see other responses.
