Abstract

On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned landmark rulings made in its 1973 verdict in Roe v. Wade. The justices by way of a majority vote in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, decided that abortion wasn't a constitutional right and returned the issue of abortion to the elected representatives. This decision triggered multiple protests and debates across the US, especially in the context of the midterm elections in November 2022. Given that many citizens use social media platforms to express their views and mobilize for collective action, and given that online debate provides tangible effects on public opinion, political participation, news media coverage, and the political decision-making, it is crucial to understand online discussions surrounding this topic. Toward this end, we present the first large-scale Twitter dataset collected on the abortion rights debate in the United States. We present a set of 74M tweets systematically collected over the course of one year from January 1, 2022 to January 6, 2023.

#罗伊被推翻:关于堕胎权争议的推特数据集

2022年6月24日，美国最高法院推翻了1973年罗伊诉韦德案的判决。在多布斯诉杰克逊妇女健康组织案中，法官们以多数票决定堕胎不是宪法赋予的权利，并将堕胎问题退回给民选代表。这一决定在美国各地引发了多次抗议和辩论，特别是在2022年11月中期选举的背景下。鉴于许多公民使用社交媒体平台来表达自己的观点和动员集体行动，鉴于网络辩论对公众舆论、政治参与、新闻媒体报道和政治决策产生了切实的影响，理解围绕这一主题的网络讨论至关重要。为此，我们提出了第一个大规模的关于美国堕胎权辩论的Twitter数据集。我们展示了一组从2022年1月1日到2023年1月6日的一年中系统收集的7400万条推文。
