The reader poll caught my eye. Something about the wording seems odd.

“Should silent prayer be banned outside abortion clinics?

[ ] Yes, no one should feel unsafe trying to access abortion clinics

[ ] No, there is a human right to freedom of thought”

It seems odd because it assumes you agree that silent prayer would make people feel unsafe, and that prayer is a form of "freedom of thought." You could agree that freedom of thought is a human right, but not think that applies to prayer. You could also think silent prayer outside abortion clinics won't make people feel unsafe, but still think it should be banned. Unless you agree with at least one of the assumptions they're baking into the answers, you can't give a satisfactory answer.

The question itself is very simple, and the answers should be "yes" and "no." All the rest is message.

No problem with someone standing outside her front door for hours "in silent prayer" then?
