I am honestly not surprised. I know I'm fairly radical, especially progressively.

MSH:

I mean, take the abortion question:

Should abortion be legal?

Without question, the answer should be yes-- however, that can take a very large spectrum of implementation. It ranges from "Life saving only" to "Abortions for EVERYONE! Outpatient, no questions asked! Late term!? NO PROBLEM!"

I feel very strongly that the answer should be yes-- There *ARE* legitimate and important reasons to have it as an option-- but I am very much against "abortions of convenience." I do not believe they should be an "out" for reckless lifestyle choices. (philosophically, if feel it is dangerous and irresponsible to remove natural consequences to dangerous and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Sex is a naturally dangerous activity-- it should ALWAYS be treated as such. Much like there is no such thing as a safe cigarette, there is no such thing as safe sex. Just less dangerous sex.)

The presented options give no voice to this kind of provisional "strong agree".

To many people, my view would be strongly "traditionalist", but the metering of the system will grade it strongly "progressive."

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That sounds like either an "Agree" or a "Neutral", depending upon your exact limitations of "convenience". The question is if abortion should be legal, you think that abortion in many forms should be legal. No matter how strongly you support the legality, you're only supporting a fraction of abortions.

A person could answer "Disagree" to that question while thinking that abortion should be allowed in instances of, as the saying goes, "rape, incest, and protection of the mother's health" -  They are against abortions in all but a couple of select categories. If they were against abortions in all cases but, say, the rare instance that the mother will definitely die if the birth goes through, then they would be justified in selecting "Strongly Disagree" instead.

It's the "percentage" of reasonable scenarios that your answer applies to that makes the difference between Neutral/Agree/Strongly Agree, in my eyes, and this works for pretty much every issue.

Join me in the glory of the neoliberal brofist.
Not even gonna post my results cause they were pretty much the same tbh, except with a slightly higher tradition.

I got pretty much this - just slightly less socialist and a bit more internationalist, liberal, and progressive.

Social Liberals - unite! Ours are present, past, and future!

Hot damn, I really am a radical aren't I? I feel so alone all the way on the Left.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Welp, I'm a commie. Or a relatively benign fascist. Something along those lines anyway.

Also, I should note - you're a commie. I say this because "fascist" is a political assignment you can get; I saw it from someone, and on a fairly liberal website too.

Don't worry comrade! You've got Teneb and I to march alongside you in the light while in truth we hold you back from attaining the fullness of your godhead of Societal Progress!

Didn't really pay the most attention (the fact that I'm not the most politically aware doesn't help) to some of the questions and my answers but here it is in all its glory...

Since this is a tangent, I will spoilerize.

That's a loaded response though.  It requires that I somehow KNOW exactly what the composition of requested abortion procedures are for.

For reference, I view the following as valid reasons to get an abortion:

"I am in a committed relationship, but my partner and I are not financially secure enough to raise a child, and we cannot afford to take maternity leave."
"I just started a relationship, and am not prepared to care for a child at this time. I took every precaution available to me, and I just got very unlucky."
"I have a relationship with a long term sexual partner, but my partner has strongly opposed the idea of having children. We take precautions to avoid pregnancy, but here we are."
etc.

The one case I am against is "If I want to fuck every hot dude I see, I want to be able to do it, and not worry about being pregnant, Ok?! Abortions are a way of life for me!"

It is my opinion that most abortions will come from some combination of the prior decision making processes, and not from the latter.

Now kids, Just because I scored higher on the freedom side of that axis, does not mean I believe you should go taking things by force. That is thuggery. If your position is so much better, then prove it peacefully. >:|
