Whatever the merits of this week's People article, People's choice of
women seemed unrepresentative to me.  The only one of the nine who
came out for a ban on abortion did so on Christian religious grounds.
The subscribers to net.abortion, to go by Steve Tynor's recent poll,
are more representative:  3 agnostic/atheists and 2 "others" among
those saying "abortion is ok sometimes (ie, when the mother's health
is threatened) but not in general."
