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." -- Matt Rosenblatt
