"Dimensions and Clusters of Abortion Legal Attitudes: A Cross-National Analysis of Diverse Nations" explores the complexity of abortion views beyond the typical pro-choice vs. pro-life divide. Using data from 23 nations, we uncover how factors like the mother’s health, gestational stage, and legal consequences shape attitudes. Our findings reveal that abortion attitudes are multi-dimensional, influenced by education, wealth, and political ideology, offering a deeper understanding of global perspectives.
