An interesting survey released recently shows American high school seniors favor stricter restrictions on abortion rights, but they cannot bring themselves to support overturning the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. About 2/3 believe parental consent should be required before a woman under 18 can have an abortion, and about 2/3 say they consider abortion to be always or usually "morally wrong."
Dennis Gilbert, a sociology professor at Hamilton College, said the college's eighth poll on "hot button issues" provided a major surprise in demonstrating the conservatism of the class of 2006 [source--Southern Baptist Texan, January 23 issue, 16].
There's hope yet!
