Abstract：
We examined people\'s (1) attitudes about abortion using an item from Pew Research Center (i.e., whether abortion should be legal in all cases, legal in most cases, illegal in most cases, or illegal in all cases) and (2) support for different punishments if abortion were illegal in all cases for different people involved in the abortion-the pregnant person, their partner, an informant and the healthcare provider.
We administered a web-based survey to 2,204 U.S. adults using quota-based sampling. Post-stratification weights were applied to the data so that the sample was comparable to U.S. benchmarks for gender, race, Hispanic ethnicity, age, education, and political affiliation. We compared endorsement of various punishments for a pregnant person, their partner, informant, and healthcare provider. Additionally, we compared the endorsement of these punishments across response options of Pew\'s abortion legality item.
Overall, most of our sample indicated that abortion should be legal in most (34%) or legal in all scenarios (21%). However, if abortion were illegal in all circumstances, most of our sample supported some form of punishment for the pregnant person (72%-75%), their partner (65%-68%), and healthcare providers (70%-71%), but not informants (47%-49%). Among the endorsed punishments, therapy/education typically received the most support.
Because of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women\'s Health Organization decision and the subsequent overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortion is illegal in a significant number of states and a punishable offense. Our findings suggest that current punishments associated with many of these laws are counter to public sentiment.
Despite majority support for some punishment, the categories of \"no punishment\" or therapy/education had the most support. Given the lack of plurality or majority support for fines or incarceration, abortion laws including these punishments, including bounty-style laws passed in Texas and Oklahoma, may be out of step with public opinion.

摘要：
目的：我们使用皮尤研究中心（即，堕胎是否在所有情况下都是合法的，在大多数情况下是合法的，在大多数情况下是非法的，或在所有情况下都是非法的）和（2）如果堕胎在所有情况下都是非法的，则支持不同的惩罚，他们的搭档,线人和医疗保健提供者。
方法：我们使用基于配额的抽样对2,204名美国成年人进行了基于网络的调查。将分层后的权重应用于数据，以便样本与美国的性别基准相当，种族,西班牙裔种族，年龄,教育,和政治派别。我们比较了对孕妇的各种惩罚的认可，他们的搭档,线人,和医疗保健提供者。此外,我们比较了皮尤堕胎合法性项目对这些惩罚的认可。
结果：总体而言，我们的大多数样本表明，堕胎在大多数情况下(34%)应该是合法的，或者在所有情况下(21%)都应该是合法的。然而,如果堕胎在任何情况下都是非法的,我们的大多数样本支持对孕妇的某种形式的惩罚(72-75%)，他们的伴侣（65-68％），和医疗保健提供者（70-71％），但不是告密者（47-49％）。在认可的惩罚中，治疗/教育通常得到最多的支持。
结论：由于Dobbs诉Jackson妇女健康组织的决定以及随后的Roe诉Wade案的推翻，堕胎在许多州是非法的，是应受惩罚的罪行。我们的发现表明，与许多这些法律相关的当前惩罚与公众情绪背道而驰。
