ABSTRACT

Two traditionally marginalized groups-women and protestors-were the focus of a four-and-a-half decade (including before and after 1973’s Roe v. Wade case legalizing abortion) content analysis of New York Times and Washington Post abortion protest coverage (Armstrong & Boyle, 2011). Despite the “uniqueness of the issue to women, (and) to the feminist movement” (p. 171), men appeared more often as sources.
