摘要
This study examined the impact of anti-abortion demonstrators and pro-choice escorts on women's post-abortion distress. Results revealed that the more women seeking an abortion reported being upset by anti-abortion demonstrators and the more intense anti-abortion activity they encountered while attempting to enter the clinic, the more depressed they were immediately post-abortion. Results also suggested that pro-choice escorts were able to partially insulate women against direct contact with the anti-abortion demonstrators and helped to protect women against the negative psychological effects attributable to the number of anti-abortion demonstrators outside the clinic. However, the escorts were not able to buffer effects attributable to the intensity of anti-abortion picketing.
