Fifty-three percent (53%) of the youth interviewed described themselves as "pro-choice," 26% said they are "pro-life," 10% said "neither," and 11% said they "didn't know." Clearly, the pro-life movement has more work to do.
Even more disturbing were the survey's results on voting. Forty-five percent (45%) of young people said they would definitely vote if an initiative was on the ballot that impacted the legality of abortion in their state. There have been a series of such ballot initiatives that those of us who are pro-life have lost.
The results of the next question may explain why. Sixty-four (64%) of those who are "pro-abortion" said they would definitely vote. But only 34% of those who are "pro-life" said they would definitely vote. Obviously, we have more work to do on the importance of voting as well.
