Abortion Attitudes and Vote Choice in the 1984 and 1988 Presidential Elections

Kevin B. Smith

University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Existing research has failed to discover a significant impact of abortion attitudes on voting behavior in national elections, despite evidence that abortion is an issue with great potential for political mobilization and partisan realignment. This article reexamines this issue and finds that pro-choice attitudes do influence voting behavior at the individual level in national elections. No evidence is found for a similar effect among those with intense antiabortion attitudes.
