The relationship between people's attitudes about abortion acceptability and the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade-two distinct but related issues-has not been rigorously explored. The authors used a mixed-methods approach for analyzing in-depth interviews to better understand how participants' feelings toward abortion acceptability are related to perceptions of whether abortion should be legal. The authors then assessed (1) correlations between abortion acceptability and different measures of support for Roe v. Wade, and (2) how the phrasing of survey items related to Roe v. Wade may evoke different responses via an online survey fielded in 2018. The study's qualitative results highlight that there is a disjuncture between people's moral feelings toward abortion and their attitudes toward abortion legality. The study's quantitative results further demonstrate that correlations between abortion acceptability and support for Roe v. Wade are moderate, and the differences in responses to the phrasing of survey items related to Roe v. Wade are moderated by knowledge. The authors recommend that when researchers develop survey items, they avoid ambiguities of abortion as a general construct, especially when public opinion measures on abortion are employed for research and the design of social and health policy and practice.
人们对堕胎可接受性的态度与最高法院在罗诉韦德案中的裁决这两个不同但相关的问题之间的关系，尚未得到严格探究。作者采用了混合方法来分析深度访谈，以更好地理解参与者对堕胎可接受性的感受与对堕胎是否应合法化的看法之间的关联。作者随后评估了：（1）堕胎可接受性与对罗诉韦德案不同支持度衡量指标之间的相关性；（2）2018年通过在线调查得出，与罗诉韦德案相关的调查项目措辞如何引发不同的回应。该研究的定性结果突出表明，人们对堕胎的道德感受与其对堕胎合法性的态度之间存在脱节。该研究的定量结果进一步表明，堕胎可接受性与对罗诉韦德案的支持之间的相关性为中等，并且对与罗诉韦德案相关的调查项目措辞的回应差异受到知识的调节。作者建议，当研究人员制定调查项目时，应避免将堕胎作为一个笼统概念时产生的模糊性，尤其是在将关于堕胎的民意调查用于研究以及社会和卫生政策与实践的设计时。
