Enacted abortion stigma in the United States

Author

Listed:
  • Cowan, Sarah K.

Abstract

Abortion is a common medical procedure at the center of political debate. Yet, abortion stigma at the individual level is under-researched; the nascent research on abortion stigma has not yet documented enacted (experienced) stigma instead capturing anticipated or internalized stigma.
