Cohort changes in attitudes about the availability of legal abortions are traced over a twelve year period using data from seven national surveys. Contrary to the aging-conservatism hypothesis, trends in the direction of increasingly favorable attitudes between 1965 and 1973 and general stability thereafter characterize all cohorts. On this issue, there is no evidence of growing conservatism, attitudinal rigidity, or change at a slower rate among the older cohorts.
利用七次全国性调查的数据，对12年间不同人群对合法堕胎可得性的态度变化进行了追踪。与老龄化保守主义假说相反，1965年至1973年间态度日益趋同的趋势以及此后的总体稳定是所有人群的特征。在这个问题上，没有证据表明老年人群体中存在日益增长的保守主义、态度僵化或变化速度放缓的情况。
