The dependent variable that I will be using is the abortion rank gathered from Gallup State of States. Gallup State of States shows the political differences between states across the United States. The dependent variable is Abortion rank, which shows what type of abortion restrictions a state has, either low, medium, or high. While there is a clear order for the variable, there is no fixed unit of measurement.

Medium and high abortion restrictions will be the reference group. Abortion rank was chosen because the variable clearly and simply illustrates …show more content…

Religiosity will be the first control variable. The variable shows the level of each state’s population that believes in any religion. Due to being ordinal, the variable was recoded with a value of zero meaning high religiosity in the state and a one meaning low/medium religiosity. Just as the dependent variable, there is no fixed unit of measurement. High religiosity will be the reference group and receive the score of zero because based on the date gathered from the research mentioned earlier, it will not lead to more support for low abortion restrictions. The next control variable used is the percent of state legislatures who are Democrat gathered from the National Conference of State Legislatures. The unit of measurement for this variable is percent. The variable shows the percent of each state’s overall legislators who are democrat. The last control variable that will be used is region variable gathered from Gallup State of States. Just as the dependent variable, the variable had to be recoded due to being nominal. The region of the states do not have a unit of measurement. A value of one with represent states located in the Northeast and Western United States, while a zero will represent states in the South and Midwest. Southern and Midwestern states will represent the reference group. Each of these variables have been selected based on …show more content…
