Younger Americans taking stronger pro-life stance

According to a recent UCLA poll, young Americans are increasingly pro-life.

The results of the study showed that only a small majority of college students still thinks abortion should be legal. These figures are down from 67 percent 10 years ago. Kelly Kroll, of American Collegians for Life, said young people now take the issue more personally.

“We have never lived in a world where abortion was illegal,” said Kroll. “I think more and more young people are realizing that not only are abortions happening every day, but abortions were happening when they were conceived and that they very easily could have been aborted.”

Experts say one reason for the shift in opinion is that pro-life groups have effectively changed the public debate to the rights of the preborn.
