Abstract

Study designThe study uses two nationally representative samples of final-year secondary school students conducted in Poland before (year 2018, N=1,609) and after the abortion ban (year 2021, N=1,513). ResultsThe support for abortion increased between 2018 and 2021 (OR=2.77 in foetus impairment case; OR=2.58 in women's health at risk case). The increase was stronger among females than males.
