Osborne et al., 2022 in Political Psychology Noting the combination of demographic and ideological variables that emphasize traditional beliefs, we then examine the unique impact that traditional gender roles and sexist attitudes have on abortion support. Our review and theoretical analyses illustrate that subjectively positive views of women who conform to traditional gender roles (namely, benevolent sexism; Glick & Fiske, 1996, 2001) can undermine support for women's reproductive rights by fostering unrealistic expectations of motherhood. We conclude by positing that the relational rewards promised by benevolent sexism encourage both women and men to oppose abortion which, in turn, has numerous detrimental consequences for women's welfare and broader societal rights.
