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.

At this dangerous time for journalism in Virginia

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you close this tab, we want to ask if you could support All Virginia News at this challenging time for independent journalism in the Commonwealth.

Virginia is currently governed by a Democratic trifecta—Governor Abigail Spanberger in the Executive Mansion, Democrats holding majorities in both the House of Delegates and the Senate, along with key leadership positions held by figures such as Lt. Governor Ghazala Hashmi, Attorney General Jay Jones, House Speaker Don Scott, and others. In any period of one-party dominance, the risk of reduced transparency and accountability grows. A strong, independent press is essential to scrutinize those in power, regardless of party affiliation.

Across the nation and here in Virginia, press freedom faces real pressures: from political threats and regulatory actions to corporate influence and economic challenges that can compromise editorial independence. When government officials—whether in Richmond or Washington—attempt to shape coverage through pressure, investigations, funding decisions, or favoritism, it undermines public trust and democratic health.

All Virginia News exists to serve Virginia readers first. We are not owned by billionaires or large corporations with political agendas. Our commitment is straightforward: deliver factual, thorough reporting that holds every elected official accountable—Democrat, Republican, or independent—without fear or favor. We believe democracy functions best with a robust, independent press that provides Virginians the full picture, free from partisan spin.

What sustains us through these challenges is the direct support of our readers. A majority of our funding comes from individuals like you who value trustworthy, paywall-free journalism. Your contributions preserve our editorial independence and allow us to continue aggressive, non-partisan oversight of state government, policies, and their impact on Virginia families.

We know these requests are never as welcome as the reporting itself, but without reader support, this work simply could not continue. Of course, we understand that not everyone is in a position to contribute financially, and we remain grateful for your readership either way.

If you are able, please support All Virginia News today. All gifts matter, but recurring contributions are especially valuable as they help us plan and sustain our coverage long-term (and reduce the frequency of these appeals). It takes just a moment to give. Thank you for standing with independent journalism and helping protect a free press that serves all Virginians.
