Gen Z opens up with us about their feelings on the heart-wrenching end of Roe v. Wade. Watch the whole video below and remember –– reproductive rights are human rights. Period.
draft of Justice Alito’s opinion on the case that would see Roe v. Wade functionally struck down in the Supreme Court was leaked
“The news about Roe v Wade made me angry because it felt regressive for our country,” one teen, Reed told us. “…It felt like an accomplishment of the past, like the right to birth control or women’s right to vote in America. It felt established…What’s scary is something that feels safe, something that feels like ‘Oh, this has already happened. We already won this,’ can be undone.
Per the Pew report: “Younger adults are considerably more likely than older adults to say abortion should be legal: Three-quarters of adults under 30 say abortion should be generally legal, including 30% who say it should be legal in all cases without exception.” That’s clearly reflected in how teens talk about the last few decades of Supreme Court strategy , and it reveals a deep understanding of the different power players, the various motivations, and the disillusionment with the idea of “playing nice in a broken system” that is not only failing to serve them but doing them harm. And when they come ready to discuss this topic, they come with facts, they come with stats, and they come with a deep sense of justice that feels contagious.
