In the second question on abortion, the "mother's health" question was interpreted by the Supreme Court to also mean "psychological health." This was deliberately deceptive, as it allowed a doctor to offer an opinion that the woman would be happier if she had an abortion, and justify the abortion in that way. NARAL and other pro-abortion groups determined through focus group testing that this phrasing was most likely to be accepted by people opposing abortion, who did not understand the full ramifications of the statement. If the phrasing "the woman's life or physical health" were used, it would accurately reflect the viewpoints of people completing the survey. This pre-built prejudice is built into several questions, including the one about supporting your country whether it is right or wrong. The entire survey reminds me of those I was supposed to take when I worked for the government. They were sold as a method of determining how to change policies to improve our satisfaction as employees. In reality, they were surveys used to determine how far they had moved us in the direction they had already decided to go. Sorry, but the viewpoint of the survey maker is apparent in the answer choices allowed. Bad survey.
You sure??? That is pretty crappy!!!
