Protestors recently repurposed the abortion rights’ mantra, “my body, my choice,” to oppose COVID-19 mandates. But do those who oppose public health mandates fully support the right to choose? We answer this question by using exploratory analyses to identify the unique response patterns underlying support for abortion and COVID-19 mandates in random samples from the United States (Study 1; N = 2,331) and New Zealand (Study 2; N = 33,310). Latent profile analyses revealed a small subgroup in both countries (12.6% and 3.4% of the respective samples) who opposed mandates. Yet contrary to the “my body, my choice” rhetoric seen at anti-mandate protests, they also opposed abortion. Across both studies, those in the Anti-Mandate profile tended to be more religious, conservative, and distrustful of institutions. In Study 2, they were also low on cognitive consistency and high on conspiracy belief. Finally, the Anti-Mandate profile was opposed to free speech critical of both the United States and religion (Study 1), high on sexual prejudice (both studies), unsupportive of progressive protests (but supportive of reactionary protests; Study 2), and likely to vote for conservative parties (both studies). These results reveal the mobilization potential of the anti-mandate movement, uncover important contradictions within its members, and illustrate the nuanced ways in which opposition to gender policies (i.e., reproductive rights) coalesce with reactionary protests.

抗议者最近重新利用了堕胎权的口号“我的身体，我的选择”，以反对 COVID-19 的强制令。但是，那些反对公共卫生授权的人是否完全支持选择权？我们通过使用探索性分析来确定在美国随机样本中支持堕胎和 COVID-19 授权的独特反应模式来回答这个问题（研究 1;N = 2,331）和新西兰（研究 2;N = 33,310）。潜在概况分析显示，这两个国家都有一小部分人（分别占各自样本的 12.6% 和 3.4%）反对强制令。然而，与反授权抗议活动中“我的身体，我的选择”的言论相反，他们也反对堕胎。在这两项研究中，那些处于 Anti-Mandate 概况中的人往往更加宗教化、保守和对机构不信任。在研究 2 中，他们的认知一致性也很低，阴谋论信念也很高。最后，反托管概况反对批评美国和宗教的言论自由（研究 1），高度性偏见（两项研究），不支持进步抗议（但支持反动抗议;研究 2），并可能投票给保守党派（两项研究）。这些结果揭示了反授权运动的动员潜力，揭示了其成员内部的重要矛盾，并说明了反对性别政策（即生殖权利）与反动抗议相结合的微妙方式。
