Sawyer, Darwin and Sobal, Jeffery, "Prolife Ideology: A Look at the Public behind the Polls," Paper presented to the Eastern Sociological Society, Philadelphia, March, 1985.
Abstract:
Women, nonwhites, widow/ers, frequent church attenders, and the elderly are less likely to support abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia, and suicide. Pro-life values are also more prevalent among poorly educated and low income individuals as well as Southerners and those living in the North Central region.
