Sure, why not? I love a good survey.

Boy I hope people don't flame you for that one!
At most, I think only 5% of the adult population would need to stop cooperating to have real change.
ami g just knows it as Business Cycle Theory
Where there is no property there is no justice; a proposition as certain as any demonstration in Euclid
Fools! not to see that what they madly desire would be a calamity to them as no hands but their own could bring

I think he was asking why this is an issue of contention on this forum, of all places.

Frankly, I am surprised that abortion is at about 50/50 in this thread.

Well so far, it does not appear to be an issue of contention, so if that is the case, then that would definitely be a good question.

I am not. You obviously have not seen the threads about abortion and rights in this forum. A lot of people contend that humans have rights by virtue of just being a human. And they also contend that someone is a human at conception.

Democracy means the opportunity to be everyone's slave.—Karl Kraus.
It's no to late-term abortions, but yes to first trimester abortions. The reasoning that I conclude that after the second (or within the second) trimester, all bets are off that we got ourselves a being that can think and if given some nominal life support for a limited time, it will be self-sustained (barring nutritional requirements). I take this stance due to personal experience with my first niece who was barely out of the second trimester, but survived to be a nerdy teenager (better than brooding or emo, imho) at present. The fact she not only grew fast to being an actualized being makes me question whether or not abortion should be funded, but not necessarily banned. I personally abhor the destruction of human life as it seems pointless to waste precious opportunities to achieve better (which is why I'm also against the death penalty) in our lives and in this world.
I think abortion will solve itself in terms of both technology and society, which is why I'm still staunchly against State intervention in the issue (both on banning and funding).

I would have answered if the OP had simply spelled it out.

You should check out this video:
While I do believe that Abortion should only be for a mother, father, and a physician to decide, I also agree that the state shouldn't fund it, or ban it. The former just gets the special interests going crazy and the latter does is push it into the black market.
I have another question for you. You should that Lysander Spooner was the father of Individualist Anarchism and talked of his argument for it in one of your videos. What was his argument?
