- 요약Some ethnopopulist politicians leverage identity politics to undermine various types of minority rights-with contestation over sexual autonomy and reproductive rights becoming prominent. Yet, variation exists in the degree to which people are willing to support or oppose attacks on abortion and LGBTQ+ rights by protesting. What drives people to protest in support of or against abortion and LGBTQ+ rights when politicians attack these rights? This dissertation explores polarized protest around abortion and LGBTQ+ rights in Poland, where recently governing ethnopopulists sought to restrict these rights.In the first chapter, I explore the emotions driving people to begin and to continue protesting for abortion rights in Poland. Using semi-structured interviews with 50 Polish activists in nine Polish cities and towns, I show that anger and fear drive initial and continued participation in pro-choice protests.In the second chapter, I ask: When religious institutions encourage believers to protest against abortion rights, do these pressures mobilize? Using semi-structured interviews with anti-abortion organizers and an original survey experiment, I show that religiosity does not mobilize anti-abortion activism. Instead, religious group engagement powerfully drives pro-life protest. Hierarchical pressures from religious leaders and group pressures from fellow parishioners only increase the likelihood that believers protest against abortion for highly-engaged parishioners. Religious group engagement levels mediate these relationships.In the third chapter, I assess whether far-right organizers using disgust rhetoric that portrays LGBTQ+ people as disgusting and dirty actually mobilizes protest against LGBTQ+ rights. By pairing an original survey experiment with spatial data on anti and pro-LGBTQ+ mobilization in Poland, I find that when people sympathetic to LGBTQ+ rights are exposed to disgust rhetoric, they are more likely to feel angry at its users. In turn, they become more willing to protest in support of LGBTQ+ rights, likely because anger is a mobilizing emotion capable of driving protest. By contrast, for people holding homophobic attitudes, disgust rhetoric does not mobilize them to protest against LGBTQ+ rights. Disgust rhetoric increases people's willingness to protest for LGBTQ+ rights, but not against LGBTQ+ rights.
