I’m afraid I don’t see this. Lots of youthful hate filled radicals out there unfortunately.

In the public school setting (Minnesota) in which I worked for a lot of years, I heard many more pro-life sentiments from students than I did pro-choice.

Polls like these are deservedly worrisome to the aging zealots of NARAL:

A 2003 Gallup poll compared the abortion views of 517 teens, aged 13 to 17, with those of more than 1,000 adults. When asked whether abortion should be allowed under "any" circumstance, adults were more likely to say yes than teens (26 percent to 21 percent). More stunningly, when asked whether abortion should be allowed under "no" circumstances - i.e., be outlawed - 33 percent of teens said yes, compared with only 17 percent of adults.

Another poll, released in January 2006 by Hamilton College and Zogby International, asked 1,000 high-school seniors about the morality of abortion. Two-thirds said it was immoral, with 23 percent saying it was "always" morally wrong and 44 percent saying it was "usually" morally wrong.
