Generation Y Choosing Life

According to the latest Gallup Poll, Generation Y is rapidly becoming “Generation Why Support Abortion?” Together with their grandparents, America’s 18-29 year-olds are trending more pro-life than any demographic in the country.

Experts at Gallup have found that the pro-abortion crowd is struggling to reach most age groups with its message. As Gallup explains, the gap between the generations is narrowing on the abortion issue.

Even Generation X is dwindling in its support for abortion “under any circumstances”–dropping steadily from 34% in 1990 to 24% in 2009. What a remarkable victory for the life movement! In the face of the most aggressive, pro-abortion administration in America, the country is rallying to defend the unborn from the President’s radical agenda.
