The group is expected to make up almost 17% of the American electorate.
Two 22-year-old college seniors, Hadley Duvall and Morgan Reece find themselves on opposite sides of the abortion debate.Gen Z activists on both sides of the abortion debate are hitting the ground trying to motivate their peers to the polls this November. Experts say their votes could be critical in this year's election.
"What we do know about young voters, especially Gen Z voters, is that they are particularly engaged when it comes to social justice issues," Harper said. "And so, that could be a galvanizing factor to get these folks to the polls." "It was a letdown for sure," Reece said. "But much like all of our other losses, it's not the end all be all. We did impact people through canvassing and tabling."
Non-partisan polls have consistently shown that 62% of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. The number is even higher for younger Americans. Almost 73% of Americans ages 18 to 29 support legal abortion. A Kaiser Foundation study shows that most OB-GYNs say the overturning of Roe v. Wade has worsened their ability to manage pregnancy-related emergencies. Fifty-nine percent in states with gestational limits and 61% in states with abortion bans. A majority of them say they are "very or somewhat concerned" about their own legal risk when making decisions about patient care and whether or not an abortion is necessary.
Duvall was sexually abused by her stepfather over the course of a decade, becoming pregnant at age 12. While her stepfather had planned for her to get an abortion, she ended up having a miscarriage. Duvall says her personal experience motivates her pro-abortion advocacy.
