Abstract [en]

This thesis explores the frames used by prominent anti-abortion organizations in the United States, focusing specifically on their websites. Drawing upon framing theory and social movements theory, the research investigates how these organizations construct and present information to understand their potential influence on public perceptions of abortion. The study utilizes a qualitative frame analysis methodology to identify and analyze emergent themes in the content found on the websites of the selected anti-abortion organizations. Through an exploration of diagnostic, prognostic, and motivational framing, the research seeks to understand how these organizations use frames to mobilize support, inspire collective action, and influence public discourse on abortion. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the persuasive strategies employed by anti-abortion activists and shed light on the role of framing in shaping public opinion and policy debates.
