OTM: Understanding Abortion Polling

This week On the Media discussed abortion polling and what should be analyzed.

Physical: There have been videos released on how Planned Parenthood does abortion and what they do with the bodies. This has fueled debates between politicians and the public.

Temporal: Planned Parenthood has been in the media not only for the videos but because their funding might be cut off for a year. The timing of abortion polling couldn't have come at a better time with all the political debates.

Psychological: According to past studies, 49% of people are for abortion and 48% are against it. Their reasoning is not formed off of anything but their own personal beliefs.

Social: When the study was looked at again they asked about cost, circumstances, and support. That changed the view an opinion of the 48%.

Cultural: When Roe v. Wade was decided it was never fully understood by some. If there isn't a full understanding than you can't make a concise decision.

John Bayner announced that at the end of October he will be quitting congress. He claims it is to keep leads hip equal, but with the voting of funding for Planned Parenthood coming up you makes you think other wise. People have made their decision about abortion based on personal opinions and belierfs. Which insane because there are multiple aspect to abortion. If you don't know the full argument you make a concise decision.
