If you are a man, gay, or post-menopausal please answer best you can imagining that you were faced with an unintended pregnancy. In the case of rape or incest, if you are a man it doesn't necessarily mean you committed the rape or incest yourself. Imagine if your girlfriend was raped, or raped by one of her relatives.

================================================== ==================================================

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.

Thead title is an oxymoron. No poll is thorough. Not thorough enough, couldn't vote.

In polls, often less specificity is more and allows people to answer closer to their thoughts/values.

Well, that seems sort of pointless, since we already know what your opinions are on the subject.

But you do realize, more specificity is actually better, because you can vote, and then expound on your vote by posting if you want to clarify your position.

I know you know how to post, see ^^^, you did it right up there.

I can't help but notice that NONE of you have voted yet.

So far the pro-lifers are winning! Go me!

My option isn't up there. I'm pro-abortion, I'm not even about a "choice".

There are more like me than you realize.

There's a whole child-free movement that is pro-abortion, and will NOT have any kids, whatsoever, at any point.

I'm a man, at this point its none of my business.

If asked to vote in an election, I vote for the most liberty possible. Its a womans right to choose.
