Poll on abortion

Curia did polling in January for ALRANZ to ascertain views of New Zealanders on whether abortion should be legal in different circumstances.  I thought the results were very interesting with the net level of support (those saying legal less those saying illegal) for each situation being:

  • Pregnant woman likely to die +72%
  • Foetus has no chance of survival +70%
  • Pregnant woman likely to be permanently harmed +70%
  • is a result of rape +65%
  • Pregnancy is a result of birth control failure +31%
  • Pregnant mother can't afford to have another child +27%
  • Pregnant woman doesn't want to be a mother +22%
