The topic of abortion remains a hotly debated and contentious issue. Too often, partisan politics fuels the debate but prevents a full discussion of facts, particularly those facts on which both sides agree. What might the field of peace psychology offer to this debate? Is there empirical evidence from psychology that will add more light than heat? Can the common conflict-transformation method apply by considering the interests people have in common, not merely hardened positions, so that creative solutions may be found? Can we at least have a full and accurate understanding of what the various perspectives are so as to facilitate a more constructive dialog? We cover: Part 1. The Psychology of Violence against Women: Where Pro-Choice and Pro-Life Conclusions are Almost Indistinguishable (intimate partner violence; coercion or pressure; sexual trafficking and rape; war; and "gendercide" in sex-selection abortions) Part 2. Post-abortion Aftermath (methodology; risk factors; therapy; pro and con on what the aftermath for women is; lost fatherhood; abortion doctors and staff) Part 3. Other Contentious Topics (child abuse; perspectives on specific populations including people with disabilities, racial minorities, people in developing countries, LBGT people, and conscientious objectors; and empirical data on impact of legal regulations) Part 4. The Constructive Program (pregnancy prevention; meeting the needs of pregnant women, new mothers, children and families; transforming the debate over abortion)

Publisher description: In the past, abortion hasn't often been addressed in psychological theory. Mary Boyle finds, however, that among the law-making body (largely male) the concept of gender is central to the formulation of abortion legislation. In a detailed study of legislative debates spanning thirty years, she finds that many implicit assumptions about women and doctors underlie the content of abortion law. By acknowledging how social policy can be so influenced, we can begin to set some constructive ways forward.

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Psychology - Miscellaneous, grade: A, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Psychological Institute), course: Introduction to Individual and Context, language: English, abstract: In the United States of America, a high degree of attention has been paid to the issue of how to legislate abortion. During the past two decades, notions of the so-called "Culture-Wars" emerged, referring to an increasing polarization of the American public over the abortion topic along the lines of religiously motivated "pro-life" and secular "pro-choice" activist groups. This paper is an effort to analyze from a psychological perspective how religiosity mediates people's attitudes towards abortion legislation, the hypothesis being that the more embedded a person is in an increasingly conservative religious community, the less likely she will be to experience cognitive dissonance over ambivalent topics like abortion, because she adheres to the amplified religious position on it. It was found that religiosity leads to more dismissive attitudes towards abortion in general. Furthermore, the more conservative a religious denomination is in the terms of Bible literalism, the stricter is the view of its adherents that abortion should be forbidden by law in most or all cases. As Bible literalism entails the belief of being indisputably right about any issue touched by it, it leads to attitude persistence, which keeps the "pro-life" and "pro-choice" activist groups from finding a compromise. However, contrary to what the "Culture-Wars"-hypothesis suggests, data from public opinion polls do not show an increasing polarization in attitudes over the issue.
