Hell hath no Fury: A Gender Dichotomized Analysis Predicting Pro-Life and Pro-Death Penalty Attitudes
Unformatted Document Text:  Hell hath no Fury: A Gender Dichotomized Analysis Predicting Pro-Life and Pro-Death Penalty Attitudes Few studies have examined the group of people who strongly oppose abortion yet support the death penalty. Those studies that have investigated the subject show that a punitive orientation toward criminal offenders and a preference for a literal interpretation of the Bible are the strongest predictors of membership in this pro-life/pro-death penalty group. The question addressed in the present paper is whether a person’s gender also influences group membership: Do punitiveness and literalism have the same predictive power for both women and men, or do the predictors vary as a function of gender? The answer to this question is important for public opinion research. Policy implications are discussed.

Hell hath no Fury: A Gender Dichotomized Analysis Predicting Pro-Life and Pro-Death
Penalty Attitudes
Few studies have examined the group of people who strongly oppose abortion yet
support the death penalty. Those studies that have investigated the subject show that a
punitive orientation toward criminal offenders and a preference for a literal interpretation
of the Bible are the strongest predictors of membership in this pro-life/pro-death penalty
group. The question addressed in the present paper is whether a person’s gender also
influences group membership: Do punitiveness and literalism have the same predictive
power for both women and men, or do the predictors vary as a function of gender? The
answer to this question is important for public opinion research. Policy implications are
discussed.
