Commandos for Christ: Narratives of Male Pro-Life Activists
Abstract
The narratives of thirty-two male pro-life direct activists were subjected to a content analysis. While a number of different themes emerged, only two were significantly related to the frequency with which these activists engaged in sit-ins, or "rescues." Men who used martial or war images engaged in significantly more sit-ins than those who did not use such imagery. Men whose activism derived from the strong bonds they either felt or sought with some group (typically fellow congregants) were significantly less active in sit-ins than those who did not refer to such bonds when they described their decisions to participate in sit-ins.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
