Polls, Polls and More Polls
Thursday, 17 September 2009 10:36
Recently The Courier Mail conducted a phone poll of 800 people and proclaimed that the majority were in favour of abortion being decriminalised.  Interestingly, their own internet poll showed a totally different result with over 67% of people voting NO to the decriminalisation of abortion with over 7875 people voting (at last check - 10am 18/9/09).  The pro-abortion e-petition on the Queensland Parliament website had a mere 2453 voting to decriminalise it.

The result above of 7875 people with over 67% of them voting against decriminalisation amounts to  5392 people voting NO.  

Perhaps the Queensland MPs should keep this to mind.  People do not want abortion - let's be a little more creative than death as a solution.  Let's help put in place agencies and organisations that will help remove the difficult circumstance rather than remove the baby.
