NIMBY attitudes affect support for local abortion services

Summary

A recent study sheds light on how “Not in My Backyard” attitudes can influence people’s views on abortion access.

NIMBY refers to the tendency of people to oppose developments or services in their local area.

While abortion policy is typically framed as a moral or rights-based issue, the study finds even those who support abortion access may oppose it if the services are offered in their own neighborhood.

The study was authored by David Doherty , Dana Garbarski , and Sasha Shapsis .

People are sensitive to the location where services that violate their moral convictions or protect rights they support would be provided, the study says.

The researchers concluded that NIMBY effects may be more widespread than existing work suggests.
