    For those spineless fúcks in the Dáil and law commision to get up thier holes and put in placed the legistation and policies needed to put in place what the people and the courts decided after the last referendum and the high court cases on this issue.

    Never heard the term Anti-Choice before.

    It's Pro-Life.

    I vacillate between not being sure and not agreeing with abortion, but am pro-choice.

    Poll options should just read

    "Would you be in favour of legalising abortion?

    Yes or No"

    I think pro-choice is a very leading term to use.

    Well, if you are to presume that anyone who is pro-choice on abortion, then the logical opposite is anti-choice, otherwise anybody who is not pro-life, is pro-death, which is just a daft concept.

    You poll is seriously flawed, even I don't believe in free for all at any stage abortion.

    Just out of interest, what did irish people vote for in the referendum, was not in the country sorry.

    Could argue that one either way Stabelgrade, change the poll options, they are leaning towards the legalising spin terminology which is unfair imo.

    I used to think abortion was bad.

    Then i got a littlew older and began to understand what Sinn Fein were.

    Now i think people should have a choice, and then others should have that decision made for them

    I'd vote Pro-Choice but only in lieu of mandatory sterilisation and sequestring of sperm/eggs for qualified parental candidates.

    Can we set a time frame? Is it only a foetus less than 28 weeks or can we include 50 year old fat men with friends in the banking sector?
