Abortion is an important political consideration that is implicated in portfolios ranging from reproductive health, to foreign aid and immigration policy. Through extensive archival research and interviews, this project will provide new information about how politicians make decisions on abortion, where they get their information on abortion, and how they understand their representational roles vis-à-vis their constituents. It will contribute new knowledge to the study of democratic representation; provide a new model for the neglected area of the study of comparative state differences; and heighten Australia's research profile in two areas of increased international interest: both abortion and conscience votes.

堕胎是一个重要的政治考虑，涉及从生殖健康到外国援助和移民政策等一系列问题。通过广泛的档案研究和访谈，该项目将提供新的信息，说明政治家如何就堕胎问题作出决定，他们从何处获得有关堕胎的信息，以及他们如何理解他们对选民的代表作用。它将为研究民主代表制提供新的知识;为国家比较差异研究中被忽视的领域提供新的模式;并提高澳大利亚在两个国际关注度增加的领域的研究形象：堕胎和良心投票。
