Introduction:

The Choose Life 2006 Survey of Public Opinion is the most in-depth survey of UK women on abortion for many years. Importantly, it was conducted using women-only interviewers, in order to encourage openness and honesty among female respondents.

In addition to the 1046 women who took part we interviewed 457 men, and for the set of tables showing both men and women, data were weighed to be representative of both sexes.
