争议使堕胎与世界社会理论家研究的其他问题不同，他们认为在全球一级制度化的政策倾向于在非常不同的国家传播。作者对1960年至2009年堕胎自由化政策的传播（无论多么有限）进行了事件历史分析。在确定了三个主要框架（妇女权利框架、医疗框架和宗教、自然家庭框架）之后，作者发现，科学、医疗框架的指标显示出与规定可接受堕胎理由的政策自由化的一致联系。妇女的领导作用比国家与全球妇女权利讨论的联系具有更强和更一致的自由化效果。围绕采用附加策略的可能性出现了一些不同的模式，控制首次策略采用。尽管全球对妇女自主权的支持有所增加，但在堕胎自由化方面，长期存在的强大框架在全球一级相互竞争，阻碍了强有力的政策传播。
Controversy sets abortion apart from other issues studied by world society theorists, who consider the tendency for policies institutionalized at the global level to diffuse across very different countries. The authors conduct an event history analysis of the spread (however limited) of abortion liberalization policies from 1960 to 2009. After identifying three dominant frames (a women’s rights frame, a medical frame, and a religious, natural family frame), the authors find that indicators of a scientific, medical frame show consistent association with liberalization of policies specifying acceptable grounds for abortion. Women’s leadership roles have a stronger and more consistent liberalizing effect than do countries’ links to a global women’s rights discourse. Somewhat different patterns emerge around the likelihood of adopting an additional policy, controlling for first policy adoption. Even as support for women’s autonomy has grown globally, with respect to abortion liberalization, persistent, powerful frames compete at the global level, preventing robust policy diffusion.
