[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to see the stats on that data please. What's the source besides some guy on the internet?[/quote]

The data is probably right.  The issue is how were things phrased.  Most educated people know that you can completely steer results by how you phrase the question.  And the summation and statistics given usually list slightly different phrasing than the long form question in the survey. So you ask leading questions, then paraphrase the results so that you lead the poll respondents in the direction you want.[/quote]

They also probably didn’t ask about exceptions after 15 weeks.  If you asked about the fetus with no brain or the one that will die hours after birth, I bet they’d agree with the abortion.  But most would t want a wholesale exception for abnormalities because [b]I don’t think the majority of Americans support the right to terminate a pregnancy for Downs.[/b][/quote]

That depends on whether it’s for themselves or someone else.  Lots of people claim to oppose abortion for Down syndrome, but when faced with the decision themselves, something like 80% of people with a Down syndrome diagnosis choose to terminate the pregnancy. Do you really think Down syndrome is disproportionately prevalent among people who admit to supporting abortion in those cases?[/quote]
