Because I think this is a rather rude and insensitive question, and because it’s a public ( :rolleyes: ) poll, I decided to check all four options. Qin, your parents need to punish you for _this_, if anything. ---

It’s never come up, but if it did, I’d probably get a doctor to do it, rather than handling it myself. ---

**Qin Shi Huangdi** - Why did you create this thread? This time your curiousity has crossed over to cluelessness. There is nothing you will learn about the subject in this manner. I suggest you ask to have the thread closed and think of something else to do. ---

Certainly this isn’t the only discussion topic in IMHO that discusses personal or private matters-there are threads that discussed among other things various sexual practices and parental abuse. ---

Dude, you made it a _public_ poll. You should have better sense than that. But if you don’t, here are some other polls that you shouldn’t make public… Have you cheated on your (current) SO? Here’s a list of crimes - which have you committed? Have you gotten somebody drunk merely to have sex with them? I’m sure the board can think of others. But really, what were you thinking? ---

Yeah, but this hits too close to home for some people. Gotta have tact, man. ---

I make my partner abort her fetuses all the time, if that’s what you’re asking. ---

Yes I do realize this poll (especially it being public) was rather stupid. ---

I usually don’t participate in public polls, but I checked all four in this one too myself. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/have-you-ever-aborted-your-or-your-partners-fetus/580796.md?page=2)
