Although previous research has indicated that the majority of Americans are pro-choice


regarding attitudes toward abortion rights (Baily, 1993; Bryan and Freed, 1992; Petkova,


Ajzen, and Driver, 1995), the pro-life movement continues to have a surprisingly strong


presence in political and social debate. The purpose of the present study was to examine


college students’ abortion attitudes and level of commitment to the issue in an attempt to account for this seemingly paradoxical discrepancy between reported attitudes and observed


vocalization.


The issue of abortion clearly generates a great deal of public interest, however, this may


not be the case with younger generations, particularly those populations often most


available for research (i.e., college students). Slevin and Aday (1993) found that college


students did not perceive themselves as particularly knowledgeable about the current issue


of abortion, and this may be indirect evidence of their lack of interest and/or commitment.


Furthermore, direct or indirect exposure on a more personal level to an abortion experience


may increase interest and commitment to the issue, however many college students


have not experienced such exposure.
