1. Did she provide proof of that?
Edited on Sun Jul-13-03 11:49 PM by tjdee
I doubt it. She likes to throw things out there without bothering to check for accuracy, because as some writer said, she knows her readers/followers are too stupid/rabid to reinforce their own beliefs to check.

I think the number of pro-life/pro-choice is about equal. The numbers change when you talk about 3rd trimester, health of the fetus, etc.


on edit:
Just googling briefly I found this poll, from January. Coulter is talking out of her ass, as usual.

MEN AND WOMEN ON ABORTION
Abortion should be...
Generally available

Men:
40%
Women:
37%

Available, but with stricter limits than now

Men:
40%
Women:
37%

Not permitted

Men:
20%
Women:
24%

3. Yeah. She probably had a "footnote" citing
Concerned Women of America.

4. These figures are very odd
I find it very odd that men barely pass women as being "more pro-choice". These numbers are shocking to me.
How can less women then men think abortion should be generally availible?
And it's dead even almost for it NOT being permitted...:scared:

5. Here's overall
Seventy-seven percent of respondents said abortion should either be generally available, or available but with stricter limits than now. Just 22 percent said abortion should not be permitted.

2. Annthrax would like people to subscribe to one dimensional thinking
Edited on Sun Jul-13-03 11:49 PM by nothingshocksmeanymo
whenever possible. And invalid unsustainable one dimensional thinking at that. In fact, don't even think...let Annthrax do it for you. She arrived at her higher consiousness by masturbating to old Roy Cohn briefs ( maybe not even the kind you read...for all I know, she sniffed them and the fumes got to her.)

The question, by definition, would be a resounding yes. Women are more involved in the abortion issue and whether they like it or don't like it, the one thing I resent is a woman who had an abortion and is battling her own conscience such as Phyllis Schlafly telling other women what to do when battling their own conscience.

Hell, I'll bet that if Annthrax is actually female, she too has had one.
