No more than it is on you for "I'm damn well sure those conditions weren't attached by women." and "most Pro-life activists are men" and "The Pope decides for Catholics" None of which you support with fact or argument. ---- But you want evidence you got it Abortion should be... Generally available Men: 40% Women: 37% Available, but with stricter limits than now Men: 40% Women: 37% Not permitted Men: 20% Women: 24% cbsnews.com --------------------------------- Now, the second survey: The Center for the Advancement of Women -- an organization run by a former president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America -- commissioned a Princeton Survey Research Associates survey of American women. The Princeton survey likewise picked a random sample of 1000 women age 18 and above (this yields a margin of error of +/-3%), and it asked the following question, which I reproduce together with the results: Which ONE of the following four statements comes CLOSEST to your own view on abortion? A - Abortion should be generally available to those who want it; [30% picked this] B - Abortion should be available but under stricter limits than it is now; [17% picked this] C - Abortion should be against the law except in cases of rape, incest, and to save the woman's life; [34% picked this] or D - Abortion should not be permitted at all [17% picked this] Did not give an opinion on abortion [2%] That's right -- 51% +/- 3% of American women apparently believe that abortion should either be entirely illegal, or legal only in cases of rape, incest, and to save the woman's life. law.ucla.edu Fifty-one percent of women surveyed by the Center for the Advancement of Women said the government should prohibit abortion or limit it to extreme cases, such as rape, incest, or life-threatening complications. The findings, with a 3 percent margin of error for the 1,000 women surveyed, tips the scale from the last sampling in 2001, when 45 percent of women sided against making abortion readily available or imposing only mild restrictions. Only 30 percent support making it generally available, down from 34 percent in 2001, the survey found. The New York-based center that sponsored the survey is a nonpartisan advocacy group for pro-choice women's rights. The center's president, Faye Wattleton, headed the Planned Parenthood Federation of America for 14 years. washingtontimes.com
