Researchers have described the difficulties of doing abortion work, including the psychosocial costs to individual providers. Some have discussed the self-censorship in which providers engage in to protect themselves and the pro-choice movement. However, few have examined the costs of this self-censorship to public discourse and social movements in the US. Using qualitative data collected during abortion providers' discussions of their work, we explore the tensions between their narratives and pro-choice discourse, and examine the types of stories that are routinely silenced - narratives we name "dangertalk". Using these data, we theorize about the ways in which giving voice to these tensions might transform current abortion discourse by disrupting false dichotomies and better reflecting the complex realities of abortion. We present a conceptual model for dangertalk in abortion discourse, connecting it to functions of dangertalk in social movements more broadly.
研究人员描述了开展堕胎工作的困难，包括对个体从业者的心理社会成本。一些人讨论了从业者为保护自己和支持堕胎权利运动而进行的自我审查。然而，很少有人研究这种自我审查对美国公共话语和社会运动的成本。利用在堕胎从业者讨论其工作期间收集的定性数据，我们探讨了他们的叙述与支持堕胎权利话语之间的紧张关系，并研究了那些经常被压制的故事类型——我们称之为“危险言论”的叙述。利用这些数据，我们从理论上探讨了表达这些紧张关系可能通过打破错误二分法并更好地反映堕胎的复杂现实来改变当前堕胎话语的方式。我们提出了一个堕胎话语中危险言论的概念模型，将其更广泛地与社会运动中危险言论的功能联系起来。
