They live outside the two-party system and want policies supporting both woman and embryo.

Millennials will change abortion conversation: Column 635627175680855697-CAMOSY-1-

The conventional wisdom is that young people are strongly pro-choice. While it is not surprising that Baby Boomers and Gen Xers eventually grew more skeptical over time, when they were teenagers and young-adults, they too were all-in for abortion rights.

But the demographic future of the United States is defying that conventional wisdom.

Gallup found in 2010 that "support for making abortion broadly illegal (was) growing fastest among young adults." This was "a sharp change from the late 1970s, when seniors were substantially more likely than younger age groups to want abortion to be illegal." For all Millennials in 2012, only 37% considered abortion morally acceptable . Oh, and remember the debate in Texas and the U.S. House about banning abortion beyond 20 weeks? According to the National Journal, 44% of those 50 and older supported such a ban, compared with 52% of those ages 18-29.

Perhaps even more telling than these polls are the reactions of abortion-rights advocacy groups such as Emily's List and NARAL Pro-Choice America. They are very publicly worried about something former NARAL president Nancy Keenan called the "intensity gap." Of young people who identify as "pro-life," for instance, 51% claim that abortion is an important issue. But for young people who identify as "pro-choice," that percentage plummets to 20%. Fears over this intensity gap were the primary motivation for the 2013 resignation of the then-61-year-old Keenan.
