Overview

Randomized trial assesses abortion attitudes, emphasizing unique factors impacting opinions among political groups.

Key Points

  • To develop a new survey instrument that accurately measures abortion attitudes post-Roe by addressing specific factors influencing opinions.
  • Developed an original survey instrument targeting reasons for seeking abortion and gestational age of the fetus.
  • Utilized a large-scale survey with a sample size of 69,752.
  • Analyzed differences in policy preferences based on ANES responses among partisans.
  • Democrats and Republicans selecting identical ANES responses exhibit differing policy preferences.
  • Respondents with similar policy views choose different ANES answers based on their political affiliation.
  • Continued use of traditional ANES scales leads to partisan-driven, systematic measurement errors.
