Abstract

ABSTRACT Since 2016, many protests in support of abortion rights have occurred across Poland. What emotions drove people to begin participating in these protests? What emotions encourage them to continue protesting for abortion rights over time? To answer these questions, I conducted semi-structured interviews with 50 activists who have protested in support of abortion rights since 2016 in nine Polish cities and towns. I asked activists what emotions were important when they decided to protest and what emotions remain important as they continue to protest. Anger and fear emerged as key emotional drivers of their initial and continued pro-choice protest participation.
