Ebaugh, Helen Rose Fuchs and Haney, C. Allen, "Shifts in Abortion Attitudes: 1972-1978," Journal of Marriage and the Family, 42 (August, 1980), 491-499.
Abstract:
Attitudes towards abortion became more liberal during the 1960s and early 1970s, though by 1975 the trend leveled off. In the 1960s, males, better educated, and older people were more liberal. In the 1970s, the male-female difference was less pronounced, the age trend reversed, and the liberal effect of education persisted.
