In this episode, we dive into prospect theory and its pivotal role in shaping the abortion debate during elections. Discover how this psychological framework, developed by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, reveals our tendency to weigh potential losses more heavily than gains—especially when it comes to deeply emotional issues like abortion. We unpack how both sides of the debate utilize this theory to sway voters, framing their messages in terms of what’s at stake: personal freedoms or moral values. Join us as we explore why fear of losing can drive voter behavior and make abortion such a hot-button issue in political landscapes. Tune in for this insightful discussion!
