Harris Harvard Poll shows something interesting...

 This is an interesting counterintuitive statistic 




So one would think (of course) that women would be more apt than men to want to allow late term abortions. But as it stands, the vast majority of American want abortion to be limited to under 15 weeks or otherwise only allowed in cases of rape or incest. 

And apparently men (not women) are more inclined to want to allow abortions beyond 15 weeks (31% to 25%). Who would have known? 

I suspect that many of the men are simply virtue signalling here. Trying to make themselves appear woke and in tune with what women want, when in the end they are just pandering for pandering sake. But what do pro-choice women (and pro-choice men) really want? Seems many just want to complain about pro-lifers and not much else

But more to the point, who understand the "labels" that are thrown out there. Pro-choice vs Pro-life? What does it even mean? We would obviously consider someone who believes 23-26 weeks is the correct time to ban abortions as "pro-choice" since that was what Roe and Casey basically established and pro-choicers love Roe and Casey. We know someone who wants to ban it at 6 weeks (or fetal heartbeat) to be pro-life... since that has been what has been pushed in many red states. 

But are you pro-choice or pro-life if you want to allow abortions prior to 15 weeks, but ban them after 15 weeks? I suspect that many people would argue that both ways.
