Abstract

Although media response to the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision was widespread in the United States, the extent to which people were aware of the Mississippi law leading to the decision, the Dobbs v. Jackson case, is unclear, as are the resulting effects of the decision on legal abortion. As such, we examined people's awareness of abortion legality prior to and after the Dobbs v. Jackson decision announcement, as well as the potential implications associated with the decision (i.e. overturning of Roe v. Wade). We also examined people's attitudes toward abortion legality, specifically focusing on 15 weeks' gestation to correspond with the Mississippi law that led to Dobbs v. Jackson. Data were collected across two studies at different times. In Study 1, a 15-minute survey was administered to IPSOS' KnowledgePanel (N = 1014) prior to the decision announcement. A shorter version of that survey was administered to a second sample using NORC's AmeriSpeak Omnibus panel (N = 1002). Nearly half of that sample (42.2%) completed the survey prior to the decision announcement. People were generally unaware of the Mississippi law, the Dobbs v. Jackson case, and implications associated with the decision (e.g. overturning Roe v. Wade). People generally endorsed abortion being legal at 15 weeks or later, but this varied by circumstance. We did not find meaningful effects of the decision announcement on people's knowledge and attitudes. Our findings suggest that the intense response to the decision from the media and people involved in the abortion movement may not represent the general public's reaction.

在多布斯诉杰克逊案判决前后,人们对堕胎法的认识和态度。
尽管媒体对多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织裁决的反应在美国很普遍,但人们对导致该裁决的密西西比州法律多布斯诉Jackson案的了解程度尚不清楚,该裁决对合法堕胎的影响也不清楚。因此,我们研究了多布斯诉杰克逊案判决宣布前后人们对堕胎合法性的认识,以及与该判决相关的潜在影响(即推翻罗诉韦德案)。我们还调查了人们对堕胎合法性的态度,特别是关注怀孕15周的情况,以符合导致多布斯诉杰克逊案的密西西比州法律。两项研究在不同时间收集了数据。在研究1中,IPSOS的知识小组(N = 1014)。使用NORC的AmeriSpeak Omnibus小组(N = 1002)。近一半的样本(42.2%)在决定宣布之前完成了调查。人们通常不知道密西西比州的法律、多布斯诉杰克逊案以及与该判决相关的影响(例如推翻罗诉韦德案)。人们普遍支持在15周或15周后堕胎是合法的,但这因情况而异。我们没有发现决策公告对人们的知识和态度产生有意义的影响。我们的研究结果表明,媒体和参与堕胎运动的人对这一决定的强烈反应可能并不代表公众的反应。
