This study examines responses to antiabortion picketing among women who encountered picketers as they entered 1 of 3 abortion clinics to have an abortion. The goals of this study are to describe women's experiences with, emotional reactions to, and attitudes toward antiabortion picketers; examine predictors of women's emotional responses to picketers; and examine the relations among exposure to picketers and emotional responses to picketers and postabortion mental health. Results indicated that most women encountered antiabortion picketers on clinic entry and experienced negative emotions in response. Women were more likely to feel angry than guilty in response to seeing picketers. Reports of positive emotions were rare. Women whose entry was blocked by picketers were more likely to experience both anger and guilt in response to picketers. Women who were personally conflicted about abortion were more likely to experience guilt, but not anger, in response to picketers. Feeling guilty in response to seeing picketers and being high in personal conflict about abortion were significant predictors of depression immediately postabortion. Feeling angry in response to picketers was unrelated to postabortion mental health. In general, women seemed to find encounters with picketers unpleasant and to be negatively affected by them in the short term but not to suffer serious, long-term, negative psychological effects as a result of these encounters. |
