Press, Andrea L.; Cole, Elizabeth R.
Critical Studies in Mass Communication, v12 n4 p380-402 Dec 1995
Finds that pro-life women actively searched for authorities and authoritative information that were not "corrupted" by the values of secular society. Finds that, paradoxically, they drew on secular forms of argument, claiming scientific authenticity for their own sources, and that their selective viewing habits resulted in the construction of an alternative community of thought and belief.
