摘要

堕胎是目前媒体讨论的最具政治分歧的话题之一。目前还没有任何研究尝试对英国公共报刊中各种堕胎观点的细微差别进行跨国比较评估。我们使用手工编码的原始样本，从 41 个国家的 800 多篇提及堕胎的英文报纸文章中，研究了国家层面的影响因素和报纸特征如何塑造报纸对堕胎的描述。我们的三级分层模型发现，民主及其带来的自由增加了报纸在提及堕胎时讨论法律、政策和政府决策者的可能性。在堕胎合法的情况下，报纸提及社会运动和抗议活动的可能性较小，这可能是因为该问题可能更加稳定。我们还对一个国家的宗教文化和经济发展水平所起的作用提供了以前尚未开发的洞察力。令人惊讶的是，宗教和经济对堕胎讨论的影响相对较小。

Synthesizing the Global English‐Language Abortion Narrative: A Comparative Analysis of Media Discourse*

Abortion is one of the most politically divisive topics currently being discussed in the media. No study has yet attempted to make cross‐national comparisons assessing the nuances associated with various views on abortion in the English public press. Using an original hand‐coded sample of over 800 English‐language newspaper articles from 41 countries that mentioned abortion, we examine how country‐level influences and newspaper characteristics shape newspaper portrayals of abortion. Our three‐level hierarchical models find that democracy and the freedom it engenders increase the likelihood that newspapers discuss laws, policies, and government claimsmakers when abortion is mentioned. When abortion is legal, newspapers are less likely to mention social movements and protest activities, possibly because the issue may be more settled. We also provide previously untapped insight into the role that a country's religious culture and level of economic development play. Surprisingly, religion and economics have relatively little influence in shaping abortion discussions.
