Abstract
Who is more likely to hold stigmatizing attitudes toward people who have had an abortion? This study tested a new measure of Abortion Stigma, finding that greater religiosity and conservatism predicted the tendency to stigmatize. Older people were less likely to engage in abortion stigmatizing compared to younger people.
