I'm just making a poll to see the correlation between supporting legal abortion* and supporting the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Let's discuss too. Is there any connection between the two issues? Is the fact that most Americans who oppose legal abortion support the Iraq war related to anything deeper than just political party positioning?

*if you only support the right to abortion in cases of rape, incest or threat to the mother's life, you still count as a pro-lifer.

i think americans act stupid in most situations. its like ''the government claims to be christian, then we support the government''. i suggest those people to open their bibles and see if Jesus where more likely to be a pacifist than a warmaker.

and you americans claims to be an ''ohh so free'' country. what you dont realise is that you are just another victim of brainwashing.

God bless.

Simple... if you're a Republican/supported the War in IRaq, chances are you oppose abortion because that helpless unborn baby MUST be protected from the murderous harlot of a mother. At the same time, don't seem to oppose the destruction of innocent lives in Iraq; after allm it's all part of the war on terror and we don't need the terrorists striking us again, so let's kill them before they grow up... :rolleyes:

Are my threads made of lead or something?

I know the feeling. :p

Unfortunately though, your poll has found the opposite of what you were trying to prove, which makes it hard to debate the issue. :D

Not quite, since most people have gone for "Support legal abortion, oppose the Iraq War".

Besides, I am ready to fall back on the argument "I don't have a large enough sample to be representative."

I'm game for abortions, we have too many people here anyway.

But the "war" (People crawling along the walls, other people firing missiles from bases far away can't really be called a war) of Iraq is a waste of time, and were only commenced in your lust for oil... You bastards.

i dont see why there would be a big correlation between the 2 except for political parties. prolifers TEND to be republicans, republicans TEND to support the war that a republican president started.

I don't think the issues are really connected, except in the minds of some by partisan concerns. The fact that I voted for what most would consider the "Republican" option is nothing more than an odd coincidence, though... I'm certainly no Republican.

Hard to answer. It all depends on what you mean by support the war. Are you asking if we supported going in in the first place? If we think it was a good idea? Or are you asking about what we should do now - since we're already in it?

Do I think we should have gone in the way we did? No. Do I think we should just pull right out now? No. So, while I don't support the way we went in in the first place, I do support staying now, until a stable situation is reached.

That's what I'm wondering. There's no connection between the two issues. Or is there? Is it just partisanship that causes US pro-lifers to support the Iraq war, or is there some underlying moral or philosophical principle that unites the two positions?

What about the I do not care option?
