Sackett, Victoria A., "Between Pro-Wife and Pro-Choice," Public Opinion, 8 (April-May, 1985), 53-55.


Abstract:

The pro-choice side has mistaken some of public acquiescence for public endorsement. People are uncomfortable with the idea of abortion but opt for the status quo because they are reluctant to impose their standards on others.
