Abortion

oggi sulla pagina di David Leonhardt

Pew Research Center: “Though abortion is a divisive issue, more than half of U.S. adults take a non-absolutist position, saying that in most — but not all — cases, abortion should be legal (34%) or illegal (26%). Fewer take the position that in all cases abortion should be either legal (27%) or illegal (12%).”  Secondo me la ricerca Pew dimostra che l'88% del campione è favorevole a qualche forma di aborto e non è assolutamente divisivo. La posizione abortista estrema non è marginale 27%. Anche io, che sono fortemente pro-choice mi identificherei con most but not all legal  La considerazione che faccio è che anche la pagina degli editoriali del NYT riporta analisi frettolose e sbagliate.

Fewer take the position that in all cases abortion should be either legal (27%) or illegal (12%).” In my opinion the Pew research shows that 88% of the sample is in favor of some form of abortion and hence is not absolutely divisive. The extreme abortion position is not marginal 27%. I too, who am strongly pro-choice, would identify myself with "most - but not all - cases legal"  The consideration I make is that, also the NYT editorial page contains hasty and wrong analyzes.
