“A national survey of high school seniors reported that many of them have a strong moral opposition to abortion and favor restrictions on “a woman’s right to choose” an abortion. An analysis of the survey said that when they answered general questions about abortion, seniors “appeared supportive of abortion rights,” but responses to more detailed questions on circumstances in which it should be allowed showed “most seniors regard abortion as morally wrong” and that they “would significantly limit” when a woman could have an abortion. The survey also showed that almost 75 percent of the respondents supported legal recognition for gay couples, with 54 percent of the respondents supporting gay marriage and 20 percent favoring gay civil unions. The survey of 1,000 public and private school seniors was conducted by Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., and the polling firm of Zogby International.”
High school seniors favor curbs on abortion. (2006, Jan 30). America, 194, 6-6.
While support for gay rights and gay marriage is (happily) rising among the youngest members of society, support for abortion is, in fact, going down. Will we have a more pro-life and gay friendly society?
