Young Americans are Pushing Back on the Radical Abortion Agenda

While the radical left likes to circulate a narrative that a majority of women, and a majority of young Americans, support their radical abortion-on-demand agenda, the reality is the public consciousness is shifting against abortion. 

A new poll from the Demetree Institute for Pro-Life Advancement conducted by YouGov and Survey USA finds that millennial and Gen Z voters – who now account for almost half of all eligible voters in the United States – oppose taxpayer funding of abortion and support restrictions to protect the unborn.   

A poll looking at Americans of all age groups from the Knights of Columbus and Marist, finds that 67 percent of Americans call for restrictions, at minimum, on abortion. 

By and large, young Americans oppose the radical left’s grotesque, abortion-on-demand agenda. According to the survey from the Demetree Institute, 67 percent of young Americans support some form of restrictions on abortion – and this number is up two percentage points from last year. 

The poll shows 31 percent of young Americans would be willing to support more restrictions on abortion than we currently have if families were given support – which a multitude of pregnancy centers across the country already provide.     

Only nine percent of young Americans support the radical left’s abortion-without-limits agenda, according to the poll. 

The poll also found a sane response to the question of when human rights should begin – with only two percent of young people saying human rights begin “when a court says so”, while the majority – 60 percent – say human rights begin before a child is born.     

While a majority of young people are not calling for a nationwide abortion ban, what they are showing is strong support for restricting the deadly procedure, which is much more in line with conservative objectives than it is with the radical left’s abortion-on-demand agenda.  

In the Democratic Party’s platform, written when Biden was the nominee, the party focuses on the vague term of “Reproductive Freedom”. The platform includes language that suggests the party is planning to expand abortion and beat back abortion restrictions that voters have passed at the state level since the fall of Roe. 

However, most Americans – and most young Americans – support restrictions on abortion at varying levels. This process is already happening at the state level, as citizens vote for restrictions to abortion including bans after a certain number of weeks. 

While the abortion debate is a highly politicized one, it appears that as scientific advancements humanize the preborn and Americans rethink what it means to stand for justice and human rights, young people are moving away from the left’s barbaric abortion-on-demand agenda.
