The Generation Z Gender Gap on Abortion

Source: The American Prospect
by Sean Eifert

“Since the start of her bid for the presidency, ‘We trust women’ has been one of Kamala Harris’s key themes. The vice president repeatedly underlines her support for reproductive rights so that voters know that she stands firm in her commitment to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade. Her pro-choice stance, however, may not resonate as strongly with one group of voters that has raised concerns in Democratic circles. Young American men between the ages of 18 and 34 are the only group in a survey of 20 developed countries that has become more conservative, and Democrats have reason to be concerned that Harris’s strong emphasis on abortion may be contributing to declines in enthusiasm among the kinds of voters that she needs to prevail over former President Donald Trump.” (10/21/24)
