Abstract

Prior to and since the 2022 Dobbs decision, U.S. state laws have endorsed individuals surveilling and punishing those associated with abortion care. This practice presents an urgent need to understand the characteristics of abortion stigma, particularly the perspectives of individuals with stigmatizing beliefs. To examine the concept and characteristics of abortion stigma, we interviewed 55 individuals about whether they thought there should be consequences for getting an abortion and, if so, what the consequences should be. Adults from three states (Michigan, Kansas, and Arizona) were purposively sampled to include a range of abortion identities and levels of religious engage-ment. We used re ﬂ exive thematic analysis to code and interpret the data. Participants imagined consequences including ﬁ nancial penalties, incarceration, and forced ster-ilization. Three themes highlighted how abortion was described as violating the law, women ’ s gender roles, and religious doctrine; accordingly, abortion was imagined as deserving of negative consequences, although abortion was legal in all states during data collection. We argue that these imagined consequences relied on carceral logics and interconnected sexist, racist, and classist stereo-types that re ﬂ ect and reproduce abortion stigma. This study deepens the understanding of abortion stigma from the per-spective of the stigmatizer, underscoring the danger of legislation grounded in stigmatizing beliefs. Online slides for instructors who want to use this article for teaching are available on PWQ ’ s website at http://journals.sagepub. com/doi/suppl/10.1177/03616843221131544.

在2022年多布斯决定之前和之后，美国各州法律都支持个人监督和惩罚与堕胎护理有关的人。这种做法迫切需要了解堕胎污名化的特征，特别是有污名化信仰的个人的观点。为了研究堕胎污名的概念和特征，我们采访了55个人，询问他们是否认为堕胎应该有后果，如果有，后果应该是什么。有目的地对来自三个州（密歇根州、堪萨斯州和亚利桑那州）的成年人进行了抽样，以包括一系列堕胎身份和宗教参与程度。我们使用灵活的主题分析来编码和解释数据。参与者设想的后果包括经济处罚、监禁和强制监禁。三个主题强调了堕胎是如何被描述为违反法律、妇女的性别角色和宗教教义的；因此，尽管在数据收集期间堕胎在所有州都是合法的，但堕胎被认为应该受到负面影响。我们认为，这些想象中的后果依赖于尸体逻辑和相互关联的性别歧视、种族主义和古典主义立体类型，这些立体类型反映并再现了堕胎污名。这项研究从污名化者的角度加深了对堕胎污名化的理解，强调了基于污名化信仰的立法的危险性。想要使用本文进行教学的教师可以在PWQ的网站上找到在线幻灯片，网址为http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/supp/10.1177/03616843221131544。

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.
