Would any of you pro-choice supporters consider openly opposing abortion, which is often funded by anti-abortion taxpayers that believe it's immoral and evil, if it led to a compromise about the legality of war and the death penalty?

I don't really understand the question.

Biologically speaking, a zygote is alive. Therefore, it is murder to kill it.

It's a womens body, it's her choice. I'd raise hell if someone tried to tell me I couldn't do what I want with my own body.

I think... probably...

That's not a fair swap... I am pro choice and for death penalties. The punishment should fight the crime. And war? Well my son is in the Navy and over there right now... I wish he was home.

please think, there is always other choise, abortion=murder, if u dont want the baby u can always bring the baby to a orphanatory, or give it to someone that wants it, there are lots of couples that wish to have a baby but cant, so please dont murder those little pretty babies

It's not my va-jay-jay. Done.

I will always oppose the taxpayer funding of abortions. There is no greater crime that a government can commit than to use a man's money to pay for something he vehemently opposes.

Also, late-term abortions are undeniably the one of most brutal forms of murder possible. At this point they are conscious.

However, I'm not sure I understand the entirety of your question. The death penalty is still legal, and war still happens, so I suppose it would depend on what the chances would be.
I am pro-choice because I don't think a woman should have to bring a child in this world if they know they cannot handle it.

Nope, sorry.

Compromising on Freedom creates crap like the Patriot Act and torture.

WOMANS BODY, WOMANS CHOICE.

We aren't allowed to tell you what to do with your "winkies" are we?
NUFF SAID

"We aren't allowed to tell you what to do with your "winkies" are we?"
Yes, if applies to your body*, and in theory, if it regards your relation with the owner of the "winkie" in question.

I have a problem with "A Women's Choice" later in pregnancy because at some point she is also making a choice for someone who cannot voice their opinion.

* remember "no means no"

what kind of BS poll is this? Sorry have to ask

pushing you're morals onto young woman is a immoral act .What right do you have to cause more grief for these women. How many young women have committed suicide because of you're interference , you should be ashamed

Not willing to go back to the times of women killing themselves in an attempt to obtain an abortion, either illegally or themselves.

A womans right to control her own body and its functions is her business and her business alone. PERIOD!

Pro-lifers stop being hypocritical about war deaths? It'll never happen. Thanks for the chuckle, though!

I do not like or support anything that causes the death of sentient life. Therefore, I am not a fan of abortion, war, the death penalty and non-vegetarian food. :)

again a selection of loaded answers that do not reflect my beliefs.
I support pro choice. No taxpayer funds go to abortions. I am so extreme in my beliefs that I would support a law that relieved men of any child support liability if he offered and had the ability to pay for an abortion. If the woman chooses to keep the fetus to term it is her responsibility.

The answers chosen were provided for a specific reason, to ensure that people don't just answer with an automatic response they've used on a dozen other polls, but to encourage them to really think about their answer and their point of view.

It is Illegal to use tax dollars to fund Abortion . If you know of this crime it is you're duty to report that crime . If you don't have first hand proof you are spreading rumors and slandering women health clinics . Stop and desist

You've completely misunderstood the point of this poll, but just so we're clear your own country's laws may differ from my own, my only duty is to myself, I'm not spreading any rumours if it's a hypothetical scenario (you should also note that I said funded by taxpayers, not funded by tax. Wording is important).

I also don't take orders from you or anyone else, so I'll continue as I see fit. :o)

you are a smart Guy . Why not post a question along with some stats . How many young women kill them selves after pro-lifers harass , demonize throw scriptures and threaten them . For nothing more than getting pregnant and making a legal and moral choice of a abortion. That would be fair and balanced to do that

no comparison!

Would you care to elaborate, because I respectfully disagree, the principle is the same whether a judge decides someone no longer has the right to exist or a mother decides a baby no longer has the right to exist?

the legality of war? What does that even mean anymore?

There's nothing stubborn about being right. :)

I agree that people who are strongly against abortion shouldn't have to see their tax dollars go to pay for any. Imo private health choices are just that, private. A woman's right to choose what to do with her body shouldn't be a political football.

This is a very odd question. I seriously doubt whether any amount of "openly opposing abortion" would lead to any changes in peoples' minds about war or the death penalty. The fact that death is involved in all of them doesn't give them enough commonality imo.

"Would you change your favorite My Little Pony if lions could speak Spanish?"

You're asking my opinion on three different situations.

Three different things where the principle is the same, regardless of how people try to view it in other ways.

I picked the "no" option but not because I'm being stubborn. As as issue of priority, I find a woman's ability to choose if she wants a baby to be more important than abolishing the death penalty. I'm not really fussed about war. People like killing other people.

I know a lot of peopel will see this as cheating, but I am more of a live and let live kind of guy. Do I think that abortions should be illegal? No. Do I believe that another person should pay for your abortion? Again, no. As for war, the thought of being a pawn on the geopolitical chess board has never appealed to me.

No abortion should be paid for by tax dollars - An abortion has nothing to do with the uses of anyones hard earned money. Tax dollars are for the running of government and all the attendant services. There is no constitutional right to abortion. Note: have as many as one wants and pay for them yourself

Didn't really know which answer to pick, as I am strongly pro choice in cases prior to the viability of the fetus, steadfastly against useless war, but firmly for the death penalty for heinous crimes. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'll never come up off these positions.

you have bad poll options.
as it is, war is illegal, and the death penalty tends to be across the civilised countries.
i believe anyone who wants an abortion should be entitled to one.

I appreciate your point of view, but the poll options provided were created for a specific reason, there's literally no point having an open option on polls like this, because people who should answer either 'yes' or 'no' will choose that option and invalidate the results. If the options don't suit the person answering, maybe they're not the target audience the poll refers to.

You're also missing the point of the poll itself, it's not to debate the actual legality of the things mentioned, because obviously countries vary, it's to see which group is more open to compromise and change, to put people in a position where they have to genuinely think about their answer and then consider whether or not they're being reasonable about their stance or are simply choosing to be contrarian towards the opposing group.

I vote this while because you already know my stance and what happened yesterday on the other question.

I believe women as well men have the right to chose rather or not they become parents or rather or not they can take care of another child.
I love it how anti-abortion people hate having big brother government telling them how to run their lives yet are fine and dandy with forcing unwanted children on women (if your Rick Santorum this includes rape victims as well) yet they will raise a stink over their tax dollars going to help take care of the mothers with extra children on welfare or children put up for adoption because the mother couldn't get a legal abortion.

These are the same people who know criminals who have committed a murder say 30 years ago yet fight to say that he is reformed and has found God so he shouldn't be killed because it is like abortion since he also took someone's life.

It is a very complicated argument that will never get solved until people anti-abortion/pro-choice take a step back from politics and religious reasons to get at the heart of the matter.

Ooops. Did I chose the wrong answer? Is this a trick question. LOL I m not really for abortions. Im more for prevention. But I am pro choice in a situation of rape, or Mother and Child or one or the other is in jeopardy. If their going to suffer and die, then I would rather not see suffering. But humanely. These trimester abortions are horrid. And a person knows long before then what their going to do. My biggest issue with this subject is that no one is pushing prevention which could prevent abortion. Why do they seem to have such a problem with solutions. And another thing that baffles me. They hate abortion yet love war that kills children. What is that? We also treat death row inmates more humanely than they do for an infant in these trimester abortions. Insanity at its best.

There's not a chance- I would never want to even attempt to take away a woman's freedom. I think that already many conservatives are anti-death penalty and more will join them in the future, I doubt that the legality of war will change any time soon.

I think after the embryo is too big to just come out during menstruation, you should have a valid reason for it, like being very young, being quite old, not being able to bring up a child due to financial struggles or otherwise, etc., and after the quickening it should be almost illegal unless it turns out to have a debilitating illness or it needs to be removed to save the mother. But about the death penalty, what's the point? All the appeals and costs for keeping them locked up in the long run, I think major criminals should be given the basics and have to do hard labour and possibly medical testing. Help society, more revenue for the government, and helping to create new drugs to save lives - quite ironic really. War should only be used for self defence or if a country asks for help, otherwise you just cause trouble, your military budget is very bloated as it is.
