Excerpt:

Research indicates a majority of the Millennials — those young people born between the late ’70s and the ’90s — are strongly pro-life.

A Knights of Columbus/Marist poll conducted last year found that 58 percent of people age 18 to 29 believe abortion is morally wrong. Students for Life of America chapters on college campuses have skyrocketed from 181 in 2006 to the current total of more than 570.

It’s also been estimated that at least half of the thousands of people who participate each year in the March for Life in Washington, D.C., are under the age of 30.

Why are these students, who grew up in an era when abortions are more common than liposuctions, pro-life? The answer may be more personal than political. With one in five pregnancies ending in abortion, these young people realize there are brothers, sisters, and cousins who are not here today solely because of Roe.

I have seen this trend, as well, and it is very encouraging. One of our daughters had a grad school professor who was/is a close associate of Sarah Weddington, the “Roe” attorney in Roe v. Wade. Thinking that all the young people in her class would surely be “pro choice”, she said to them “I hope that Sarah Weddington isn’t alive when Roe v Wade is overturned.” (bolding mine) Those who support abortion are running scared.
 
That is very interesting. I suspect that the fact that these people have grown up seeing fetuses and even embryos as visible living things through technology may be a factor.

But I don’t think 58% is enough to make for a society that is really united on this issue. Even if there were much stronger abortion laws, it would still mean a sizable number would be in conflict with that.

Although I would be interested to know what portion would support stricter laws, without perhaps outlawing abortion entirely. I think a lot of people in the age group would strongly support that, perhaps a strong majority.

Just a reminder that overturning Roe v Wade would not make abortion illegal. It would simply return jurisdiction over abortion to the states.

That depends on what grounds it overturned on. If the Supreme Court recognizes that a child in utero is a full legal person with all the attendant human rights, it would prohibit abortion nation wide.

They won’t do that.

The proof of the change of attitude will be the next election. If pro-life, rather than the economy or health reform becomes the major issue and the electorate vote accordingly, then the statistics will really mean something.
