What explains differences in public opinion about abortion around the world? Amy Adamczyk makes the case that abortion disapproval is not randomly distributed across the globe. In fact, patterns can be found across nations. Using large-scale surveys, in-depth case studies of the US and China, and an analysis of newspaper articles from over 40 countries, 'Fetal Positions' examines the forces shaping cross-national abortion rates and personal abortion decisions, analyses the links between attitudes and laws, and unpacks the pathways through which personal and country-characteristics shape views.
