A year after Donald Trump’s inauguration, midterm elections are gearing up to give America a brand new, fresh spectacle on the political battlefield. millennial voters, in particular, have kept both Republican and Democrat candidates on alert as the younger demographic has refused to settle into predictable voting patterns or adopt wholeheartedly the platform of either party. Special elections in Virginia and Alabama gave renewed hope to the Democratic Party, and the question of how to secure the millennial vote is a central concern.

On most issues, millennials — who comprise about a third of voting-age Americans — lean liberal. Polls show the majority of millennials favor single-payer health care and support homosexual marriage at record-high levels. But in spite of liberal tendencies, it’s hard to cast millennials neatly into the Democrat net because of their unique, middle-ground position on abortion.

The reality is that a majority of American millennials supports significant restrictions on abortion — a far cry from the Democrats’ extreme plank of abortion on-demand for any reason throughout all nine months of pregnancy (which is current federal law). Millennials typically want abortion to be available only in certain cases — i.e., during the first trimester, or only for pregnancies resulting from rape and incest….

As Gallup has noted, the percentage of people who say that a candidate’s abortion views are crucial in choosing how to vote is on the rise, with those who self-identify as pro-life being more likely to vote only for a candidate who shares their views. In this environment of fragile political coalitions, candidates should keep in mind that the human rights issue of our time — the rights of the preborn — is important to a rising voter bloc.
