I know that abortion polls have been done across the internet thousands of times and they have probably been done more than once here, but I wonder how thorough those polls were. While it's said that 75% of people are considered to be pro-choice, I wonder how many people would actually have an abortion at this stage of their life.

So I offer this poll for that purpose, to see how many people are pro-life, pro-choice and when and if they would have an abortion or give the child up for adoption.
Who thinks having an abortion would rescue a pre-born baby whose life was in danger. Seems like an odd option to me.

What? Because I didn't use your exact specific words?

You people are impossible. You make me hate humanity.

This poll shows one thing: There are so many ifs, ands, and buts when it comes to abortion, that it should remain a personal choice.

Why can't anyone explain why people chose the following?:

I'm Pro-Life & I would only have an abortion if my life was in danger
I'm Pro-Life & I would have an abortion if I couldn't raise the baby


They are oxymorons...you can't be anti-choice and have an abortion

This seems to be yet another reason to think that sexually conservative societies are dysfunctional.

I also find it interesting that hardly anyone who responded to this poll is truly anti-choice. I guess sometimes a majority can accidentally support a rational view.

a real pro-life person wouldnt say they are pro-life but would have an abortion if they couldnt raise the baby. thats ridiculous. however, i could understand them being pro-life but possibly have an abortion if their life were in danger. i think that would depend on the scenario and im not familiar enough with this situation to give a good answer.
