Yes: 45.4% No: 45.7% Undecided: 8.0% No answer: 0.8% Q2 - Are there any further circumstances under which AI should develop policy on abortion? eg risk to mother's health, severe foetal development, sex-selective abortions, unwanted pregnancy in forced or early marriages etc. Yes: 31.1% No: 42.6% Undecided: 8.0% No answer: 18.4% Q3. Should AI take the view that a woman's right to physical and mental integrity (her safety and health) includes her right to terminate her pregnancy within reasonable limitations, if she chooses to do so? So abortion should be legal, safe and accessible for all women? Yes: 35.3% No: 52.8% Undecided: 9.6% No answer: 2.3% And this hypocritical stance from the Amnesty website!
