Its just not right to present a poll, then tell someone they are wrong.
Why not have a NON-poll and debate an issue? Know what I mean?
Beer,

With all due respect, I think you miss the agenda behind this guy's "polls". They are what is known as push polls, designed to promote the side of them that the "pollster" is pimping. It's why the answers are all skewed to distort the results. Just another way for liars to pretend they are honest. They aren't, they are just liars.

Re: Great Big Social Poll: Abortion

If it is a Womans right to make the choice , then it should be hers and hers alone, not the doc that will do it, not the clinic that will help, but the womans and the womans only.

But on another note, gota love how the white boys have gotten the other races to kill them selfs off with the "Right to Have An Abortion" line...

Just something to think about......just look at the numbers over the last 35 or so years.

Re: Great Big Social Poll: Abortion

I don't follow. Are we supposed to kill off other races by haveing abortion? or is the white man supposed to kill himself off? either way what good is that supposed to do, i mean killing off races. its considerably backward thinking for this day and age, care to explain yourself? or am i misinterpreting your statement?

Re: Great Big Social Poll: Abortion

The biggest problem with arguing that abortion should be legal, in any respect, is that there is no uniform definition of when life begins.

However, I voted for the second choice if it also is part of rape, incest, or life of the mother is in jeopardy.

Don't sugar-coat it Hank, tell us what you really think. Why is one kind of killing so much more offensive to you than another? Is it just that you have judged babies to be innocent and therefore more deserving of protection than all others?

I know what you're saying. In essence, this OP is asking someone's opinion then telling them their opinion is wrong which is an invitation to argue. No thanks.

It even goes a little further than that, Beer, the polls are worded so that no matter how you answer, the Devil will be able to make some political hay out of it. You will also note that he rarely engages in discussion because he's been burned a few times when he posted without doing enough research and got caught. This is much safer, running rigged polls from behind the scenes.

Re: Great Big Social Poll: Abortion

First off, my stance....abortion should only be legal in the first trimester before it is truly viable and has no consciousness.

Yes, if she chooses not to abort the baby early on, she should be charged with harming it...as it will become live at some point and probably harmed or deformed.

Many will answer "well, she should have been more responsible in the first place". They don't seem to be able to look past their idealism to realize that that ship has already sailed. A fetus is forming that must either be aborted, be provided for, or starve.

Point of ethics: a mother still has the choice to abort a crack baby. Her body, her choice.
But if she chooses to carry that baby to term, its not her body any more...there is an innocent involved and charges should be filed.

Hudson sir, I take it the reason you are only for abortion in certain cases is because you feel that it is the taking of an unborn life. If you feel that way, why do you say it is ok in a case of rape or incest. As horrible as those things are, they don't justify what you would call murder. (if you believe taht way)

ok. then, this person is an attention junkie - gets a kind of narccistic rush from having people respond to her poll.
i'm feeling charitable right now, i guess.
