I'm currently in school becoming a midwife and I'm doing a population survey on abortion. If you don't mind answering, please also post your gender and age. 1) Do you agree with abortion in cases of rape/incest? 2) Do you agree with abortion in cases of medical emergency i.e. the mother's life vs the fetus? 3) Do you believe a woman should be able to have an abortion for any reason, as a mater of personal decision? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Yes, a woman should be able to obtain an abortion for any reason, at least up to the age of viability. (37, f)

my personal opinion is yes to all three during the first trimester, but no after that. My legal belief is yes to all three until the baby is born. Until we grant personhood status to a fetus, I don't see what business the state has telling a woman what she can do with the growth inside of her. 35m

Pretty sure all the data from your survey is null and void because public discussion is not how you conduct a survey. SA is going to be overwhelmingly pro choice, and any dissenters are probably not going to post as it will out them as nazis to the hivemind. Maybe think of a better way?

Surveymonkey is a good website for this sort of thing since it's anonymous. Barring that, yes to all although I personally wouldn't do it past the second trimester if the fetus was healthy.. Luckily, my body is not other peoples and I can't decide what is appropriate for others. 22/f.

Yes to all but I have a question about the wording of the first one. When you say rape/incest is incest supposed to be code for a child being raped by a relative or is it just an example of a pregnancy people may find taboo? Is the question usually posed this way? 33m

Incest meaning a pregnancy that has a higher risk of birth defects or lower cognitive ability.

Y 3) Do you believe a woman should be able to have an abortion for any reason, as a mater of personal decision? Y, through the first trimester. I don't particularly like abortion, but I do believe it should be safe and legal.

Yes to all of these questions up until the 21st week of pregnancy (which is the point at which viability outside of the womb is possible). Then yes if it negatively affects the mother's chance of survival significantly or if the child would be born with disabilities that would affect its quality of life. (25, F)

A population survey would imply that you know what population you're sampling from...

36 year old woman (UK) 1) Yes 2) Yes 3) Yes. I do feel a bit squeamish about the idea of very late (after 30 weeks) abortions without pressing medical need but I can't imagine that they happen enough to be statistically relevant so it is a moot point. And it's just a personal feeling, not something I would campaign against or anything.

I'm a 23-year-old male No Yes No No matter where we decide the line between "person" and "not person" is, as long as abortion is something that happens we will sometimes get it wrong. That's not exactly "oops" territory. Abortion necessarily kills the matter that is removed, which is still the entirety of an organism of our species in an early developmental stage, and if we kill an organism that we found out was too person-y to be ok to kill, what exactly have we done? And the circumstances around creating a person say nothing about whether it is an acceptable thing to kill the person Both scenarios are horrible (well, ok, if you're working from the assumption that there is no ethical issue about abortion, maybe the other one isn't horrible, but still) but I would much rather be pregnant for 9 months and leave the baby in the hospital than die, and I would much rather grow up in foster care than die. (of course creating a culture where sex isn't demonized and where sexual mistakes are treated with the same understanding as other mistakes and to making sure access to birth control is easy and increasing social programs to ease the burden of unplanned pregnancy and to making guys start paying child support at conception would be much more effective at reducing the number of abortions than an abortion ban and they're also things that need to happen anyway for all kinds of reasons but we're more interested in fighting about whether it should be legal than doing things that are good for both not loving over disadvantaged women and also reducing the number of abortions aren't we)

It's not the baby's fault is totally a reason to require delivery of the fetus if that's a viable alternative to abortion. If it's not viable then you don't have a responsibility to carry it inside you until it is.

In an ethical framework that views killing members of our species, even unborn ones, for reasons other than credible threats to other human lives as wrong, why would rape or incest make that OK? It's not like I'm excited about the prospect of a rape survivor carrying their baby to term, but the right of a human not to get killed should trump the right of a human to not be pregnant.

29/F Yes to all three. Elective abortions should be 100% legal until the point of viability, which we could call 24 weeks or so, since it's somewhere around there that the chances of survival get up to 50%. Medical abortions should be legal in all cases. On top of that, abortion and other reproductive health services should be covered by health insurance and the Hyde amendment should be repealed 40 years ago. Reducing or removing access to safe, legal, elective abortions doesn't do anything but put more kids in foster care and kill more women who turn to dangerous alternatives out of desperation. You can believe abortion is murder all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that women have found ways to induce abortions for literally 3000 years. If you think banning it will change that, you're delusional. Leviathan Song posted:31/m This is really confusing. I'm not sure why you would say that completely elective abortions are fine, but give a flat no to cases of rape or incest.

What the woman's personal reason is has no bearing on the procedure to me. It's nobody's business why she wants it done. Also, the wording in number two sticks in my craw a bit as it's not necessarily the mother's life, it's always the woman's life. She may or may not be a mother beforehand. She's deffo not going to be a mother afterwards, at least not in that instance. Odd to me people use that turn of phrase so often.

I'm real surprised there are actually ppl on someting awful who are waffling about viability and all that nonsense It's like Running Man people, until the fetus has escaped the arena and is wriggling around in the real world it's fair game for Dynamo
