May 2023: Dr. Sara McClelland presents: “Abortion Identities Beyond Pro-Choice and Pro-Life: Examining “Both” and “Neither” Response Options” during the 78th Annual American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) Conference.

The labels “pro-life” and “pro-choice” are often used in abortion research without additional response options, which offers little insight into the extent to which these two categories accurately capture people’s abortion identity. We asked participants (N=1,075) about the dimensions of their beliefs in order to investigate those with ambivalent abortion identities.
