I have recently been wondering if semantics is taught anymore, or even mentioned to today's students. You see so much in the way of "loaded" words, in everything from polls to advertising. Politics, of course, is rife with it.

Thanks for the heads up!

fewer than 25% of women, if that many, bring the doctor into the decision making process

Pro-life bump.

My view from experience is that nearly all folks oppose late term killings. Over half of folks oppose abortion per se. It's about even when you take "mitigating" or extreme circumstances into account. The battle for me is to take victories when we can get them and keep plugging.

I think there is also a divide amongst those with children and those without. Likewise it sometimes seems that conservative men are disproportianally pro-life ....maybe more so than any demographic ...slightly edging out so-called conservative women....

These are just my observations.....I actually had a long conversation oddly at deer camp about this and amongst the men it was nearly unanimous but some of the women waffled. And all were essentially Southern conservatives. I don't think anyone but the fembots applaud abortion. My cousin at camp expressed the view that one day folks will look back and wonder how we tolerated this abomination in much the same way folks look back at the Germans and wonder how they could allow the systematic murders to go on right under their noses. Well put.

Polls are inherently flawed and exploited and skewed.
