Abstract
Data from a sample of students at a large southern university are analyzed for differences between males and females in correlates of abortion attitudes. It is found that males' abortion attitudes are simpler in structure than those of females. Males' abortion attitudes are related primarily to their degree of conventionality in sexual and nonsexual matters. Females' abortion attitudes are related to a broader set of attitudinal variables, including sex-role conventionality, the value of children in their plans, the right to life issue, and sexual and general conventionality. Because oftheir greater ability to empathize with women who desire abortions, female opinions about abortion may involve more humanitarian aspects than do male opinions.
