Using the 2017 European Values Survey, the study analyzes how ethnonationalist attitudes relate to abortion approval in thirty European countries. Results show strong ethnonational identity and distrust of foreigners correlate with disapproval of abortion. Notably, this pattern is stronger among less religious, more liberal individuals and in more modernized European countries, contributing a new factor for abortion opinion research and a feminist-theory demonstration relevant to reproductive rights.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/abortion-rights-attitudes-in-europe-pro-choice-pro-life-or-pro-nation/628496/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/abortion-rights-attitudes-in-europe-pro-choice-pro-life-or-pro-nation/628496.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Eliana","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-10-21",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":33},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"What dataset and scope does the study use to analyze abortion attitudes?","Question",{"text":62,"@type":63},"The study uses the 2017 European Values Survey and analyzes thirty European countries to examine how ethnonationalist attitudes relate to abortion approval.","Answer",{"name":65,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":66},"What relationship does the study find between ethnonationalism and abortion attitudes?",{"text":67,"@type":63},"Strong ethnonational identity and distrust of foreigners are positively correlated with individuals’ disapproval of abortion.",{"name":69,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":70},"How do religiosity, gender liberalism, and country-level modernity affect the findings?",{"text":71,"@type":63},"The association between abortion attitudes and ethnonationalism is stronger among less religious and more liberal individuals, and it is more pronounced in more modernized European countries with higher liberalism at the country level.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":74,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":76,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":78,"site_id":7},628496,1793104171,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":82},"success",[83,87,91,95,100,105,110,114,119,122,126],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":84,"show_sort_weight":85,"slug":86},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":88,"show_sort_weight":89,"slug":90},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":92,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":96,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":101,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":112,"slug":113},8,30,"research-report",{"id":115,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":121},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":125},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":129},19,"General","general",{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":131},{"doc_id":78,"user_id":132,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":111,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":33,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":139,"language":140,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":141,"faqs":142,"seo_title":143,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":144,"read_time":145},4398048949847,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/avatar/400002536579ef2da7f?_k=1778318612642679267","Social Politics 2023 Volume 00 Number 0  \nAbortion Rights Attitudes in Europe: Pro-Choice, Pro-Life, or Pro-Nation?  \nAlison Brysk* and Rujun Yang  \nDespite modernization in women’s public roles, reproductive rights attitudes and policies are becoming more restrictive in some societies. While existing literature depicts abortion opinion as a clash of feminist pro-choice vs. religious pro-life frames, feminist analysis suggests that nationalism may influence reproductive attitudes. Yet no cross-national research has empirically examined the relationship between ethnonationalist sentiments and abortion attitudes. We use the 2017 European Values Survey to analyze how ethnonationalist attitudes are associated with abortion approval in thirty European countries. We find that strong ethnonational identity and distrust of foreigners are positively correlated with individuals’disapproval of abortion. Counterintuitively, this association between abortion attitudes and ethnonationalism is stronger among less religious and more liberal individuals—and in more “modernized” European countries. Our findings contribute a new factor to the cross-national abortion opinion literature and an empirical demonstration of feminist theory with relevance for reproductive rights.  \nIntroduction  \nDespite modernization in women’s public roles and evolving social attitudes on gender and sexuality worldwide, reproductive rights attitudes are becoming more restrictive in some societies influenced by nationalism (Poland abortion ruling 2020).1 While long-standing analysis depicts abortion attitudes as a clash of feminist pro-choice vs. religious pro-life frames (Adamczyk et al. 2020; Cook, Jelen, and Wilcox 1992; Luker 1984), feminist theories suggest that nationalist beliefs also influence reproductive rights attitudes (e.g., Yuval-Davis 2008) . Yet no existing research has empirically examined the relationship between ethnonationalist sentiments and abortion attitudes cross-nationally. We explore this relationship in one region in an effort to open a new line of empirical feminist inquiry with potential global significance.  \nUniversity of California, Santa Barbara, USA  \n*[abrysk@ucsb.edu](abrysk@ucsb.edu)  \nsocpol: Social Politics, 2023 pp. 1–31  \n[https://doi.org/10.1093/sp/jxac047](https://doi.org/10.1093/sp/jxac047)  \n\\# The Author(s) 2023 .

Yang  \nWe argue that nationalist attitudes will be associated with abortion opinion. We analyze the association of nationalism with abortion attitudes in thirty European countries using the 2017 European Values Survey (EVS), and the interaction between nationalist attitudes and the established factors of religiosity and gender liberalism. We also test the relationship between individuals’ abortion attitudes, ethnonationalist beliefs, and a range of social contextual variables associated with modernization using hierarchical linear modeling. We find that strong ethnonational identity and distrust of foreigners are associated with abortion disapproval. Moreover, pro-nation beliefs interact with religious and gender attitudes to modify the likely association of less religious and more gender-liberal individuals with pro-choice attitudes. Counterintuitively, at the country level, individuals’ nationalist sentiment is associated more strongly with abortion disapproval in more liberal modernized European countries.  \nPro-Life, Pro-Choice, or Pro-Nation?  \nSymbolic contests over abortion are often characterized as struggles“between two absolutes” (Cook, Jelen, and Wilcox 1992)—even more than other highly contested changes in gender roles and reproductive policies such as access to contraception. Established public opinion research links abortion attitudes mainly to symbolic collective identities of religion, liberal feminism, and the polarized frames ","cbCaig2rdv4iio4B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig2rdv4iio4B","pdf",471323,31,"English","# Introduction\n## Reproductive rights attitudes and nationalism\n## Pro-Life, Pro-Choice, or Pro-Nation?\n## Symbolic contests and framing in abortion debates","[{\"question\":\"What dataset and scope does the study use to analyze abortion attitudes?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses the 2017 European Values Survey and analyzes thirty European countries to examine how ethnonationalist attitudes relate to abortion approval.\"},{\"question\":\"What relationship does the study find between ethnonationalism and abortion attitudes?\",\"answer\":\"Strong ethnonational identity and distrust of foreigners are positively correlated with individuals’ disapproval of abortion.\"},{\"question\":\"How do religiosity, gender liberalism, and country-level modernity affect the findings?\",\"answer\":\"The association between abortion attitudes and ethnonationalism is stronger among less religious and more liberal individuals, and it is more pronounced in more modernized European countries with higher liberalism at the country level.\"}]","Abortion Rights Attitudes in Europe - Pro-Choice, Pro-Life, or Pro-Nation? | PDF",1792616784,78]
