Intersectionality and Abortion Regulation: Women Legislators and Post-2010 State Abortion Laws

Gabriella Giotto

In my analysis of 2011 and 2013 United States legislatures, I hypothesize that the impact of female state legislators will vary across dimensions of state abortion policy, and that female legislators of color will have distinct impacts on certain dimensions. Further, I hypothesize that the incorporation of women into positions of legislator power is critical to these effects. I analyze state abortion policies in a multivariate analysis with various controls.
