Awhile back in a PowerBlog exclusive I asserted, “Many, if not most, young evangelicals are just as conservative on life issues as their forebears.”
Here are some references to back that up:
First,
- 70% Evangelicals 18-29 who favor “making it more difficult for a woman to get an abortion.”
- 55% Evangelicals 30 and older who favor this.
(HT: Go Figure) From: “Young White Evangelicals: Less Republican, Still Conservative,” Pew Research Center.
And next, “In attitudes toward education, drugs, abortion, religion, marriage, and divorce, the current generation of teenagers and young adults appears in many respects to be more culturally conservative than its immediate predecessors.” From: “Crime, Drugs, Welfare—and Other Good News,” Commentary.
On second thought, perhaps what I said before was even an understatement.
