abortion poll

[Whitney]

I added options for men who are single.   Is everyone mostly happy with the options now? (other than allowing men to answer on behalf of their partner)

[Asmodean]

Yes. The Grumpy One is less displeased now than before. 

[Stevil]

Hmmm, I think it is an interesting poll.

For the ones whom did abort I am wondering the reason.
Medical
Marital status of participants
Age of participants
Lack of committed relationship of participants
Product of rape
Convenience

Not that it matters, but would have been interesting to know.
But i guess with only two abortions it isn't a great sample set to get a gauge on ratios in society.

It probably won't surprise some of you that the reason was we couldnt afford it!

At the end of the day, do reasons really matter? Is, for instance, "I changed my mind about wanting kids" a "better" or "worse" reason than "This pregnancy is a result of rape"..?

As long as the end result is the same and the reason is satisfactory to the person undergoing the procedure, why should the rest of us care?

It was just a general interest thing for me. Not to judge others on.
For my case I would be much more likely to abort based on medical reasons, or rape
Not being in a committed relationship used to be a common reason, but I think society has changed significantly, it is quite common now that some people would rather be solo mums than to abort.
Doing it for financial reasons shows a maturity with regards to the complexities of life.
I find the reasons quite interesting actually.

What if the reason is "in our culture we devalue women, so we aborted the baby when we found out it was a girl?"

[Stevil]

Yes, that is a reason that is commonly used in some cultures.
I feel it is a problem with the culture and not the abortion per se.

However, over time these cultures will find that females become desired as females become scarce.
Lots of males will grow up and die as single men, The family line will die off and for those cultures that is a big issue too.

[Ali]

Is it a "worse" reason than some of the others listed?

[Asmodean]

What if the reason is "in our culture we devalue women, so we aborted the baby when we found out it was a girl?"

Reason enough for me.

My moral hight horse is really a pony, and from my moral pony, I don't see how I have the right to dictate equality and respect to a society I am not a part of, nor do I see any justification for calling someone's personal choice universally bad.

-going on number four, was building a football team and an extra financial burden
-the baby routine is a toll in the freedom of the adult that should for the child's sake last 3 years, enough is enough we had our share
-we wanted it beacause we hadn;t done it
-I did it to her, and I would eat it-sautee with shallots- if I was a little bit more religious...

As a single male before partnering with serious gravity, without my genes being involved, I did not allow myself an oppinion. When my genes were involved I strongly suggested and encouraged the day after pill.That was a risk, if she kept it i would have a problem.  I guess if i didnt have the intelligence to prevent conceptions, I would have the brutality to punch my loinfruit out of the woman's belly

Ugh! Pytheas, try to be more fucking aware that punching pregnant women and miscarriages arent something to joke about.

The woman  i met at work had a miscarriage this year... It can be emotional and devastating.
