Abstract

The Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision overturned two previous rulings that had affirmed the constitutional right to abortion prior to fetal viability. While important work has been published about the legal, moral, professional, and economic ramifications of the Dobbs decision, missing on this topic are the voices of those most affected by these policies. We conducted an online survey to understand how the Dobbs ruling impacted the way women experience their bodies and sexual well-being. Participants were 339 cisgender women residing in the United States aged 19–29 years ( M = 24.4, SD = 2.84). Participants identified as Asian/Pacific Islander (23.0%), Black (22.4%), Latina (26.0%), Mixed (3.2%), and White (25.4%). We used codebook thematic analysis to analyze free-text survey responses. We constructed four themes and additional sub-themes related to embodiment in a post-Roe context, which consisted of experiencing objectification (denial of bodily autonomy, experiencing the body as a regulated/surveilled site, feeling dehumanized, and concern for future restrictions to abortion access and civil rights), impact on mental and sexual well-being (vigilance with sex, reduced sexual desire, sexual anxiety, personal safety anxiety), minimized impact (relationship or reproductive status, resource privilege, identifying as pro-life, concern for future), and resistance.

多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案对年轻女性被物化和性健康经历的影响
多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案的裁决推翻了之前的两项裁决,这两项裁决确认了在胎儿存活之前堕胎的宪法权利。虽然有关多布斯裁决的法律、道德、专业和经济影响的重要著作已经出版,但在这一主题中却缺少受这些政策影响最大的人的声音。我们进行了一项在线调查,以了解多布斯裁决对女性体验其身体和性健康的方式有何影响。调查对象为 339 名居住在美国、年龄在 19-29 岁之间的顺性别女性(M = 24.4,SD = 2.84)。参与者的身份为亚太裔(23.0%)、黑人(22.4%)、拉丁裔(26.0%)、混血儿(3.2%)和白人(25.4%)。我们使用编码本主题分析法来分析自由文本调查回复。我们构建了与 "后罗伊 "背景下的体现相关的四个主题和其他子主题,其中包括:体验物化(身体自主权被剥夺、体验身体是一个受管制/监视的场所、感觉非人化,以及对未来限制堕胎机会和公民权利的担忧)、对精神和性健康的影响(对性保持警惕、性欲减退、性焦虑、个人安全焦虑)、影响最小化(关系或生育状况、资源特权、支持堕胎、对未来的担忧)以及抵制。

期刊介绍: Psychology of Women Quarterly (PWQ) is a feminist, scientific, peer-reviewed journal that publishes empirical research, critical reviews and theoretical articles that advance a field of inquiry, teaching briefs, and invited book reviews related to the psychology of women and gender. Topics include (but are not limited to) feminist approaches, methodologies, and critiques; violence against women; body image and objectification; sexism, stereotyping, and discrimination; intersectionality of gender with other social locations (such as age, ability status, class, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation); international concerns; lifespan development and change; physical and mental well being; therapeutic interventions; sexuality; social activism; and career development. This journal will be of interest to clinicians, faculty, and researchers in all psychology disciplines, as well as those interested in the sociology of gender, women’s studies, interpersonal violence, ethnic and multicultural studies, social advocates, policy makers, and teacher education.
