Inquiries regarding the poll
Might I ask for a bit of clarification here? I might get away with checking relatively few boxes, as one might cover pretty much the rest of the circumstances while the others make specific points; or, I might check a box for every applicable circumstance despite an option that could fairly be described as an umbrella.
How detailed an analysis are you seeking, or would certain answers seem to contradict one another?
To wit:
• I might just check the first box and be done with it.
• I might check the under-16 box in order to reaffirm my opinion that a female's status as a pregnant woman should not be denigrated for the fact of her age.
• I might check boxes for the first and second trimester; while I am dubious about late-term abortions, I have been unable through years of political arguments and consideration to devise a sensible, concise policy that sufficiently accounts for diverse, unplanned, and unknown (e.g., to me) circumstances.
• I might check the box for pregnancies conceived by rape ....
• (&c., &c.)
On another note entirely—more or less serious according to your inclination, and observing you have the authority to make the change if you should so choose—I would mention that you may not be fairly representing certain political outlooks. The poll seems to be lacking a pro-choice option:
Full-term, while in labor, because she's pissed at the father. (See
#1735861/234)
I was hoping that the member who proposed that notion could cite some statistics or admit it was pure fancy, but, as I cannot, in perusing that older discussion, find the response that includes those statistics or that admission, I would hate to see it left out, since that would be unfair to a certain human and political outlook.
It's your poll, and thus up to you. While I, personally, consider such propositions absurd, and even suggestive of insincerity, I recognize that this is merely
my opinion.
