About
A supervised collection of social media posts focused on the discussion surrounding the Roe v. Wade cancellation sentence. It features 56,040 classified tweets, dividing the public discourse into two primary sentiment categories: pro-choice and pro-life. The data serves as a corpus for analysis, focusing on language, opinion polarity, and discussion methods used on the platform.
