On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned landmark rulings made in its 1973 verdict in Roe v. Wade. The justices by way of a majority vote in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, decided that abortion wasn't a constitutional right and returned the issue of abortion to the elected representatives. This decision triggered multiple protests and debates across the US, especially in the context of the midterm elections in November 2022. Given that many citizens use social media platforms to express their views and mobilize for collective action, and given that online debate provides tangible effects on public opinion, political participation, news media coverage, and the political decision-making, it is crucial to understand online discussions surrounding this topic. Toward this end, we present the first large-scale Twitter dataset collected on the abortion rights debate in the United States. We present a set of 74M tweets systematically collected over the course of one year from January 1, 2022 to January 6, 2023.
翻译：2022年6月24日,美国最高法院推翻了1973年在《Roe诉Wade》一案的判决中做出的具有里程碑意义的裁决。 在《Dobbs诉Jackson妇女保健组织》一案 中,法官以多数票表决的方式裁定堕胎不是宪法权利,并将堕胎问题归还给民选代表。 这一决定引发了全美各地的多次抗议和辩论,特别是在2022年11月中期选举的背景下。 鉴于许多公民利用社交媒体平台表达自己的观点并动员采取集体行动,而且鉴于在线辩论对公众舆论、政治参与、媒体报道和政治决策产生了实际影响,因此了解围绕这一主题的在线讨论至关重要。 为此,我们介绍了美国在堕胎权利辩论中收集的第一批大规模推特数据。我们介绍了在2022年1月1日至2023年1月6日一年中系统收集的74M推特。
