We told you yesterday about a new poll from Students for Life of America finds that young adults are more pro-life than they are often portrayed.

Young adults are less likely to vote for candidates who force pro life taxpayers to pay for abotions, more than one-fourth say ‘abortion should only be legal in the cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother” and “Nearly three-quarters support making sex-selective abortions illegal in the United States.”

SFLA executive director Kristan Hawkins said “We know that when it comes to youth and their attitudes on social issues and elections, there are a lot of assumptions made and yet, what we have been witnessing and what has been reflected in recent polling by other organizations especially Gallup is that the tide is turning in this generation on issues, especially abortion.”
