RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To compare attitudes toward abortion among youth before and after the Polish Constitutional Tribunal introduced abortion ban in October 2020. STUDY DESIGN: The study uses two nationally representative samples of final-year secondary school students conducted in Poland before (year 2018, N=1,609) and after the abortion ban (year 2021, N=1,513). RESULTS: The support for abortion increased between 2018 and 2021 (OR=2.77 in foetus impairment case; OR=2.58 in women's health at risk case). The increase was stronger among females than males. CONCLUSIONS: Youth accept abortion more in 2021. The increase may be linked to the Tribunal Court decision and youth involvement in massive demonstrations.
