A new poll released on the eve of the annual March for Life protest finds that millennials, the largest group of American voters, are not in lock step with Democrats on abortion and their support for the landmark Roe vs. Wade case legalizing abortion.

Long considered one of the top issues for the younger generation, the Students for Life poll found that millennials are equally divided, 39 percent to 39 percent, in their support and opposition to abortion.

What’s more, 41 percent said they want the 1971 case overturned and 7-in-10 said they support limits, such as parental notification, blocking abortions at five months of pregnancy, and ending government funding.





And by a margin of about 3-to-1, they prefer that tax dollars be used by federally-backed healthcare centers instead of Planned Parenthood.

“Millennials have lived with the harsh realities of abortion all their lives and understand more than their parents’ generation that we must address the human rights issue of our day and make changes in defense of mothers and their pre-born infants,” said Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins

“Our poll found that millennials do not blindly support unlimited abortion paid for with their tax dollars, no matter what the popular culture says. Millennials may reject labels in general, but when it comes to the specifics of abortion policy, they are anti-abortion,” she added.

The annual march takes place on Friday. The theme this year is “Unique from Day One.” The march stretches from the National Mall to the Supreme Court.





Key speakers this year include activist Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire, longtime pro-life activist Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., and Wyoming Republican Sen. Steve Daines.

Other key findings from the survey conducted by the Polling Company:



7 percent shared the position of the Democratic Party platform – abortion without any exceptions and funded by tax dollars.

65 percent support the right to vote on abortion-related policy and want a voice on abortion policy.

56 percent oppose selling chemical abortion drugs on-line or dropping the requirement for a physical exam because of the risks to women.

By about a 3-to-1 margin (48 percent to 17 percent), millennials said they preferred that their tax monies went to federally qualified health centers rather than Planned Parenthood.
