For the third year, we studied the largest voting bloc in America, 18-34 year olds, and what they thought about abortion. Far from being pro-abortion, straight ticket voters without nuance, Millennials and Gen Z share concerns about the extremes of abortion, desire to have a voice and a vote on Life, and thoroughly reject the reckless and deadly policy pursued by the Biden Administration on Chemical Abortion.
Roe Didn’t Have the Support They Think It Had
• Initially, 6 in 10 expressed some support for Roe, but those numbers flipped after learning more about Roe’s impact, ending with a 50-50 split — a 10% gain after some education on Roe’s true impact.
Forced Funding of Abortion or Participation was Not Popular
• More than half opposed paying for abortions worldwide (55%) as well as forcing healthcare workers to participate in abortions.
• The Hyde Amendment had strong support with 54% favoring limiting taxpayer funding of abortion to cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is in danger.
The Universal Sign of Life – a Heartbeat – moved Millennials & Gen Z
• MORE THAN HALF of Millennials and Gen Z would support a ban on abortion when a heartbeat is detected (52% to 48%).
The New Frontier of Abortion: Chemical Abortion Pills was Concerning
• Protecting future fertility was important. More than 6 in 10 Millennials and Gen Z (64%) supported requirements for screening for blood type and treatment for Rh-negative women.
• 53% opposed selling Chemical Abortion Pills without an exam
• 59% supported adult engagement before a minor is sold Chemical Abortion Pills.
• 65% supported in-person purchase to prevent abusive partners or sex traffickers from getting the drug to use on women without their knowledge or consent.
