Abstract

ABSTRACT This article explores the causes and consequences of public attitudes toward the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court. Drawing on survey data from the Public Policy Institute of California, we pose two central questions. First, what were the key factors shaping support or opposition to Barrett’s confirmation? Second, how did the nomination affect voter engagement in the 2020 Election? In addition to the expected factor of partisanship, we uncover two striking elements that shape attitudes toward Barrett’s confirmation – gender and attitude toward overturning Roe v. Wade. We further find that among women, concerns over the demise of Roe v. Wade spurred voter turnout in 2020. Our findings shed light on the political psychology of attitudes toward the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett, the ramifications of these attitudes for voter engagement, and broader implications for the Supreme Court’s legitimacy in light of this politicized nomination.

堕胎、态度和任命:性别和生殖权利如何塑造对艾米·科尼·巴雷特和2020年选民投票率的看法

本文探讨了公众对艾米·科尼·巴雷特(Amy Coney Barrett)提名美国最高法院大法官的态度的原因和后果。根据加州公共政策研究所的调查数据，我们提出了两个核心问题。首先，决定支持或反对巴雷特任命的关键因素是什么?第二，提名如何影响选民对2020年大选的参与?除了预期的党派因素外，我们还发现了影响对巴雷特确认的态度的两个显著因素——性别和对推翻罗伊诉韦德案的态度。我们进一步发现，在女性中，对罗伊诉韦德案失败的担忧刺激了2020年的选民投票率。我们的研究结果揭示了对艾米·科尼·巴雷特提名的政治心理态度，这些态度对选民参与的影响，以及根据这一政治化提名对最高法院合法性的更广泛影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
