Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper uses previously unavailable data from an Alan Guttmacher Institute survey of abortion providers to determine the causes of picketing by pro-life activists at abortion clinics. The paper considers three possible hypotheses about the relationship between support from political elites (as measured by governors who support restrictions on abortion) and picketing at abortion clinics. The results showed that the relationship between elite support and picketing was curvilinear. Picketing was highest when the governor supported some restrictions on abortion, but did not favor banning abortion outright. In addition, the results show that states where most abortions were performed outside of hospitals in facilities that performed 400 or more abortions per year. This suggests that social movement research should focus on sources of vulnerability for protest targets that cannot be reducible to the result of government policies.
