Abstract
Abortion providers often report having patients who describe abortion as immoral, even while accessing abortion care. According to these anecdotes, antiabortion identities, frequently depicted as tied to religious identities, are not necessarily reflected in individuals’ lived experiences. Yet social science research and political rhetoric tend to suggest a straightforward connection between religion and antiabortion beliefs and practices. The authors ask, does religion have a greater impact on attitudes toward abortion than on personal decisions to terminate one’s own pregnancy? Using an original survey of Canadian women ( n = 1,181), the authors examine religious affiliation and attendance, abortion attitudes, and self-reported abortion experience. Religious affiliation and attendance predict abortion attitudes to a greater extent than they predict abortion behavior. The authors use Burke’s concept of polysemic categories to argue that personal meanings of religious affiliation may be more salient for attitudes toward abortion than for the personal decision to access abortion care.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
