3. We didn't. My eldest daughter just got a call from a "Right to Life Foundation" for a survey.

She's 21 and a registered independent. I gave her the phone. She answered the first question with, "uh, yeah, I generally support right to life." Then she hummed and hawed a bit and I knew the next question. She said, "I'm not really sure what you mean by under any circumstances, can you explain? I don't think I know what you mean."

The polling person told her that was all to the survey. I'm sure they'll twist it some way. After she got off, I explained that that they meant "rape and incest". Because she didn't give the "correct" answer, they had no further need for her. She needs to learn how to deal with these things. Push polling has been a problem for decades and it's only getting worse.

On Edit: No shocker here, but the caller ID was a number from VA.
