Proposes a symbolic politics explanation to investigate attitude structures in activists and nonactivists. For activists primarily, abortion is a condensation symbol for changes in women's roles, the family, and acceptable sexual behaviors. Pro-life and pro-choice perspectives are not opposites along a single dimension; instead, there are differences in kind. A third group does not have symbolic attachments and views the issue as highly complex. (Abstract amended)

A symbolic politics explanation is proposed for the emotional & acrimonious nature of abortion politics. The analysis is based on a Q sort that investigated attitude structures in activists & nonactivists (total N = 27). For activists primarily, abortion is a condensation symbolic for changes in women's roles, the family, & acceptable sexual behaviors. Pro-life & pro-choice perspectives are not opposites along a single dimension; instead, there are differences in kind. A third group does not have symbolic attachments & views the issue as highly complex. These findings explain the polarization of the debate & the exceptional reactivity of previous measures. 2 Tables, 3 Figures, 19 References. Modified HA
In this analysis of federal court cases relying upon the landmark Roe v.

The pro-choice forces are vastly more powerful in abortion litigation, have superior organization and financing, and include not only public interest groups but also private interests such as clinics and professi.
