Students for Life of America recently polled Gen Z and Millennials on abortion. Here are a few key takeaways:
Nearly one in five (17%) of youth and young adults surveyed said they support a total ban on abortion Only twenty-five percent support unrestricted abortion on demand. Roughly half of respondents want abortion restricted to the first trimester or at 15 weeks.
Over 90% support life-saving measures for babies who survive botched abortions.
After learning of the absence of a National Abortion Reporting Law, 57% voiced support for such a law to track complications from abortions, with 25% strongly supporting.
The research included 1,121 registered voters between the ages of 18-42, with 27% belonging to Gen Z and 73% Millennials. You can read more about the poll results here.
The poll’s findings track with data we have seen elsewhere around the country — including in Arkansas.
On the whole, public opinion polling has found repeatedly that Arkansans believe abortion ought to be either completely prohibited or restricted to certain circumstances.
Since 2011, the Arkansas Legislature has passed more than 40 pro-life measures that protect women and unborn children from abortion — including laws that prohibit doctors from performing an abortion unless the mother’s life is at risk.
Today there is no safer place for women and unborn children than Arkansas.
