- Could we have a poll of the positions of the readers of talk.abortion?
- I would like to know once and for all what the actual numbers are for this
- group, counting each person once rather than getting confused from the number
- of posts.
-
- I volunteer to collect the data and try to present it in about a week or so.
- Please remember that this is not necessarily representative of the country at
- large.
-
- If you would like to be counted (if you "feel strongly" about this issue,
- regardless of what your precise postion is) please mail a response to this
- post or email to rparker@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu and briefly state your position
- as clearly as you can.
-
- I am most intersted in where you would place the "cutoff" times for abortion
- being restricted vs. unrestricted and illegal vs. legal. (You may wish to
- clarify what "restrictions" you would desire, or give two cutoff times for
- restrictions: one before which there should be no restrictions, and a later one
- after which there should be many restrictions.)
-
- For the purposes of this poll consider the position allowing abortion *only* in
- cases of rape/incest/risk-to-mother to be "abortion illegal" rather than call
- it "restricted legal". If you feel that abortion should be illegal in those
- cases as well, you may wish to note that in your response.
-
- To summarize, to participate in this poll please briefly answer the following:
-
- Time before which abortion should be totally unrestricted:
- (time from conception. 0 days and 9 months would each be valid answers for the
- extreems)
- Time after which *some* restrictions should apply:
- (time from conception)
- Time after which *strong* restrictions should apply:
- (time from conception. you may wish to clarify the maximum retrictions you
- would impose)
- Time after which abortions should not be permitted:
- (time from conception. treat as "after which ... not permitted *except* in
- cases of rape/incest/risk-to-mother". If you would disallow those cases as
- well, please note so.)
-
-
- Note: I don't check this account very often, so don't mail me here unless you
- are submitting a response to the poll. Please only one response per person.
