From LifeSiteNews:
A pro-life MP is running a survey on his website to see where Canadians stand on fully taxpayer-funded abortion as a “basic woman’s right”. […]
The context for the poll, which recently appeared on the website of MP Jeff Watson (Essex), reads: “Recently, as parliament debated M-312 to establish a committee to re-examine Canada’s 400 year-old law defining a human being, the founder and Executive Director of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada called fully taxpayer-funded abortion, at any time, for any reason – including for sex-selection or as birth control – a basic woman’s right”.

That was one badly worded survey. Here are the results from when I voted
I SUPPORT FULLY TAXPAYER-FUNDED ABORTION, AT ANY TIME IN THE PREGNANCY, FOR ANY REASON AT ALL;
46%
I SUPPORT SOME LEGAL RESTRICTIONS ON ACCESS TO ABORTION, FOR EXAMPLE RESTRICTING FULL ACCESS TO ABORTION TO THE FIRST TRIMESTER OF PREGNANCY;
6%
I SUPPORT ABORTION FOR ANY REASON BUT IT SHOULDN’T BE TAXPAYER-FUNDED;
1%
I SUPPORT CREATIVE POLICY OPTIONS AND SUPPORTS THAT HELP WOMEN WITH UNEXPECTED PREGNANCIES KEEP THE BABY; OR
4%
I SUPPORT A COMPLETE BAN ON ABORTION.
For the record, I voted for option 2.
There are several issues that are confused in this survey: whether or not abortion should be restricted, to what extent it should be restricted, whether or not it should be taxpayer-funded, and I’m really not sure what he’s getting at with the”creative policy options that allows women to keep their babies”. Is he talking about publicly funding crisis pregnancy centres? Is he saying that it should be public policy that parents raise their children? That particular option is far too ambiguous to consider voting for.
But once again, here is yet another of the instances where, in the debate on abortion, we have the “Yes! Always and everywhere!” side of the debate standing in one corner, and the “No! Never, never, never!” side of the debate standing in another corner, and the two factions are hollering at one another, and nobody wants to venture between the two camps to try to bridge the gap. And as long as that continues to be the scenario in Canada, we will never have anything remotely close to peace or closure on this issue.
Oh. I didn’t copy and paste completely. When I voted, 40% of the voters supported a complete ban on abortion. Without that tidbit, my last comment doesn’t really make sense.
