Abstract
The Roe V. Wade case has long been a noteworthy issue in the United States. According to research Basel 2022, approximately 504, 803 tweets have been filtered based on terms related to abortion. By collecting information and posts on Twitter, this study hopes to demonstrate how attitudes have changed in response to the adoption of abortion regulations. It’s interesting to learn how the attitudes of various local residents toward this new law relate to one another. Sentiment analysis is applied to 200 postings with typical features in order to accomplish this goal. In order to complete and build a more distinct future trend, data are compared and evaluated with historical abstracts. The findings imply that people have a moderate tendency to take an optimistic perspective. Having stated that, this conclusion offers a projection of potential human behavior and the underlying rationale determining various perceptions. This study also seeks to understand the social repercussions and intimate relationship between abortion and conception. Which introduces feminism, gender equality, teen problems, and self-induced abortion by addressing potential results and possible conflicts. To sum up, this study uses emotional analysis and additional academic approaches to investigate the relationship between various demographic, and socioeconomic groups and their attitudes beforehand and following Roe v. Wade. Understanding how people feel is of utmost importance as abortion continues to be discussed incessantly online.
