Surveys may not be the most accurate way of doing studies but there definitely are ways to take a poll of a group of people and get some usefull information out of it.

For the abortion issue just simply look at the number of people that get abortions.

I haven't trusted most survey data since I took AP stats in high school and my teacher spent a lot of time demonstrating the many ways to make data prove your point even when it doesn't. Of course, this is even worse. Oy. Thanks for putting the information out there - people need to know!

It's so true. I hate when people throw surveys in my face as "proof" of whatever their cause is-- even when feminists do it. It reveals a profound misunderstanding of how these kinds of things are made and how "official knowledge" can be utterly subjective.

Thanks for this post!

That is why it is survey, it means to approve or negate something.

I think when people use something like that to try to get their point across just tend to make themselves look stupid.

Oh I know that the original post wasn't bashing pro-lifers, I did that one on my own and here's why: Because I'm right (in most cases) If you'd like to see for yourself, go down to the bottom of this website, look under tags, click on anti-choice or extremism and have fun. Thanks for reading!

I think you've successfully managed to take a post that wasn't bashing "Crazy pro-life loony assholes" (your words), and turn it into one that is.

In my book, this post is no better than the original survey.

Thanks for passing along the info. To reiterate, I don't hate all pro-lifers - quite the opposite. It's just the tactics they use to 'defend' their point that are deplorable.
