Aims:
The present study examined the sociodemographic correlates of support for legalised abortion in New Zealand.
Method:
Data (N=19,973) were from the 2016/17 New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study, a national longitudinal panel sample of New Zealand adults aged 18 and older. The survey measured support for legalised abortion (a) regardless of the reason and (b) when the woman's life is endangered, as well as (c) focal sociodemographic correlates.
Results:
Our sample expressed moderate-to-high support for legalised abortion regardless of the reason and high support for abortion when the woman's life is endangered. Being religious, living in a more deprived neighbourhood and having more children all correlated negatively with support for both measures of abortion. Men were less supportive of abortion for any reason but did not differ from women's support for legalised abortion when the woman's life is endangered. Furthermore, age correlated negatively with support for abortion for any reason, but positively with support for abortion when a woman's life is endangered.
Conclusions:
A majority of our respondents expressed high levels of support for legalised abortion. Several sociodemographic factors were significantly associated with support for legalised abortion.

Age plays a significant role due to differences in body composition among different age groups. Infants, for instance, have a higher proportion of total body water and lower albumin levels, a protein that binds drugs in the bloodstream. This unique composition in infants enhances the...
03:08Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
