Just got this email alert from MS. Editors -- the poll now stands at 50% say it's a bad idea, 255 good idea, and 25% mixed feelings:

We've really struck a chord.

A week before the Fall issue of Ms. hits newsstands, the media is already buzzing about our cover story, "We Had Abortions," a campaign to put real women's lives back into the abortion debate by publishing some of the thousands of signatories to our Ms. Petition for Safe, Legal and Accessible Abortion and Birth Control. In this time of abortion bans, women who have had abortions are standing up and taking the debate out of the hands of the politicians and getting women's lives back in the picture.

An AP story ran yesterday about the Ms. petition, and was quickly picked up by countless newspapers and websites worldwide. Today, it's a front-page story on AOL.com, and they're running a poll asking readers their opinion about it. But the polling question is misleading - it asks what people think of Ms. naming women who have had abortions. In fact, those women are naming themselves, telling their own stories, because they want to speak truth to power at a time when abortion and birth control are under siege in this country.

We need your help to make AOL's polling numbers more accurately reflect what women are really thinking. Read the AP story at AOL.com, cast your vote, and let America know what you think.



For Women's Lives,
The Ms. Editors

2. Hmmm!

Maybe I need to go back to school, but it does appear something is a little off on the math here...
Bad Idea - 50%
Good Idea - 26%
Mixed feelings- 25%...101%???.Is AOL using a Diebold Poller?
:shrug:
