(Loda, Illinois)—Cybercast News Service (CNS) has reported on a study by Overbrook Research that shows younger voters, especially women, "are embracing a pro-life position in surprising numbers and in sharp contrast to attitudes that held sway 15 years ago." (Photo: Bound4Life.com)
The results of a study in 1992 followed a "self-interest hypothesis" in which "women and men under 30 were the most ardently 'pro-choice' (39 percent) and the least likely to be strongly 'pro-life' (23 percent). Today, by contrast," notes the report, "among the current generation of 18 to 29-year-olds, 36 percent say they are strongly 'pro-life,' while just 18 percent say they are strongly 'pro-choice.'"
Reporter Kevin Mooney notes that authors of the study argue: "Where previous generations may have been inclined to 'divorce sex from its consequences,' new voters are entering the electorate at a time when medical advances highlight development in the womb and when public attention is focused on the 'gruesome procedure' of partial birth abortion."
