That's a private medical decision between a patient and her doctor Arazi Dec 2021 #6

I don't agree that there should be no restrictions iemanja Dec 2021 #7

At 38 weeks, it's induced labor, not an abortion. meadowlander Dec 2021 #10

You're right. Thanks for your insight. Beakybird Dec 2021 #12

I definitely don't think that I should have been able to abort my twins Crunchy Frog Dec 2021 #13

This is exactly correct. PTWB Dec 2021 #31

That's true of some pro-choice posters on DU as well, unfortunately. Crunchy Frog Dec 2021 #34

May I ask a question? It's a personal one, and slap me/don't answer if you don't want. moriah Dec 2021 #39

First, thank you for so deeply personal of a share. moriah Dec 2021 #48

I don't really see it getting to the point Crunchy Frog Dec 2021 #64

I totally agree with your last paragraph. moriah Dec 2021 #65

I don't care if the mother's life is in danger or not, she can induce at 38 weeks.... moriah Dec 2021 #14

Thank you TexasBushwhacker Dec 2021 #32

I agree MustLoveBeagles Dec 2021 #90

NO! eShirl Dec 2021 #18

Her body, her decision. nt DLevine Dec 2021 #22

No. On demand, without apology, at any time. WhiskeyGrinder Dec 2021 #23

So at 36 weeks "Ya know what, I changed my mind" is fine? Polybius Dec 2021 #55

No one advocates for that except politicians who want to ban ALL abortions from conception onward Hekate Dec 2021 #61

Yes, because it's such a rare hypothetical, it's absurd. It just does not happen without a really, WhiskeyGrinder Dec 2021 #71

They know, and they're working on it... Wounded Bear Dec 2021 #33

They can't do anything until 2023 LeftInTX Dec 2021 #37

That must be it. The one I saw was about $50. Vinca Dec 2021 #41

The majority of people in this poll think that abortion should be legal up to the moment of birth? WhiskeyGrinder Dec 2021 #38

And that's why these kinds of polls are nothing but bait. Iggo Dec 2021 #42

I mean...I voted for no restrictions. WhiskeyGrinder Dec 2021 #44

Reluctantly, "other". Basically no restrictions - it is up to a woman and her doctor - RandomNumbers Dec 2021 #45

So are you ok with a 25 year old woman simply changing her mind at 36 weeks? Polybius Dec 2021 #57

Stop that. It is a tried and true anti-choice argument. Roe v Wade HAS RESTRICTIONS already... Hekate Dec 2021 #59

Yes, but the Roe restrictions are no longer in place iemanja Dec 2021 #60

THAT should be decided between a woman and her doctor Skittles Dec 2021 #51

No. roamer65 Dec 2021 #52

I'm okay with limited restrictions in the third trimester Silent3 Dec 2021 #53

As others have pointed out, virtually no doctors will perform an abortion at "any time" NickB79 Dec 2021 #54

I think that a lot of people who voted for "No restrictions at all..." don't understand the poll Polybius Dec 2021 #56

+1 Celerity Dec 2021 #58

That's because no woman actually ever does that, and the way you keep repeating that mantra... Hekate Dec 2021 #63

So you don't understand the poll Polybius Dec 2021 #76

I do not engage in push-polls, and that is what you have constructed. nt Hekate Dec 2021 #79

It wasn't my poll Polybius Dec 2021 #80

Re-read the OP Polybius Dec 2021 #83

You and I crossed posts: I edited mine to reflect that while you were responding Hekate Dec 2021 #84

It's all good Polybius Dec 2021 #85

I did the poll MustLoveBeagles Dec 2021 #91

No... I understood it... Ohio Joe Dec 2021 #66

Because abortion decisions are flippant and casual like that? eShirl Dec 2021 #69

Just check out the replies above Polybius Dec 2021 #78

I think virtually all of them believe it's a private medical decision Arazi Dec 2021 #87
