Methinks it is better to have a clear legislation, so people know as exactly as possible what is permissible and what is not. Not to get a surprising 10 years prison sentence when the judge interprets that it was wrong what you believed to be right. Protects from corruption too, a bit.
.
The religious have that clear legislation.
What they believe is absolutely correct.
What you believe has to conform to their belief, or you must die.
 
All those options and you don't have "up until birth".
This is "up until birth": abortion is ok also after 24 weeks

The scale ends at 1 year after birth, now it seems possible that the scale ends earlier than some voters would.

Gotta love polls in this forum. People spend more time talking about how much they hate the wording of the question than discussing the topic. :D

Oh, then trip on over to Current Events, where many are talking about this issue.

Strangely, I thought you'd been in that thread, but you can't have, since you're so sure none of us are talking about this issue...

The answers here are simply addressing the overall "tone" of this poll in like spirit.

I meant the JREF forum as a whole, not just the religious subforum.

The smiley also meant I wasn't entirely serious. Obviously some people are discussing the topic.

In this thread, with all the gravitas the poll deserves. ;) <--this would be my smiley. (:p)
 
Where's the 17 years after birth option? Because if there's one thing I hate more than children, it's teenagers.

DISCLAIMER: The above is a joke. I do not actually condone the death of children and/or teenagers. Though most are annoying.

DISCLAIMER #2: "Most" means exactly that.

Can it stop at some point after birth then become an option again during the teen years?
 
The poll also lacks the option to abort your parents, a tempting choice for these abovementioned teenagers.
