Abstract

In 2022, the US Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization to overturn federal law safeguarding abortion rights led to considerable national debate on abortion and reproductive rights. We report the findings of a survey of academic scientists' perspectives regarding abortion rights, state policies, and the impact of the 2022 Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson. Furthermore, we look at how academic scientists' institutions acted to address the Dobbs decision. Using a 2023 cross-sectional survey, we address the following research questions: (i) What are scientists' views of abortion rights? (ii) How have scientists responded to the 2022 Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization? and (iii) How are their views different from that of the general public with regard to Dobbs v. Jackson and abortion rights in general? Findings show that abortion was a key factor influencing scientists' voting decisions. We also highlight substantial differences between scientists' perspectives and those of the general population and reveal gender differences of opinions within the scientific community. We conclude by presenting the actions implemented by universities and scholars in response to the Dobbs decision and discuss the implications our results have for both policy and practice.

堕胎权利:美国学术科学家的观点。
2022 年,美国最高法院在 "多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案"(Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization)中做出判决,推翻了保障堕胎权利的联邦法律,引发了全国范围内关于堕胎和生殖权利的广泛讨论。我们报告了对学术科学家关于堕胎权、州政策以及 2022 年最高法院对多布斯诉杰克逊案判决的影响的看法的调查结果。此外,我们还考察了学术科学家所在机构是如何应对多布斯案判决的。通过 2023 年的横截面调查,我们探讨了以下研究问题:(i) 科学家对堕胎权的看法如何?(ii) 科学家如何回应最高法院 2022 年对多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案的判决? (iii) 在多布斯诉杰克逊案和一般堕胎权问题上,科学家的观点与公众的观点有何不同?研究结果表明,堕胎是影响科学家投票决定的关键因素。我们还强调了科学家与普通大众在观点上的巨大差异,并揭示了科学界内部在观点上的性别差异。最后,我们介绍了大学和学者针对多布斯案判决所采取的行动,并讨论了我们的研究结果对政策和实践的影响。
