Only 11 percent of millennial women identified \u201cpreserving access to abortion\u201d as the issue most important to them in 2016, according to a new poll<\/a> conducted by Langer Research Associates on behalf of ABC News and Refinery29<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The question, from a survey of 566 women younger than 36, did not ask about support or opposition to abortion, and specifically excluded the economy, terrorism, health care, and immigration as optional answers. Abortion tied equal pay, gun rights, and \u201cother,\u201d and came behind economic inequality and student loan debt with 21% each.<\/p>\n

It did find that 60% named either Hillary Clinton<\/a> or Bernie Sanders<\/a> as their favored presidential candidates, though 47% said they did not find any of the 2016 contenders inspiring.<\/p>\n

Notably, the poll also found that 53% of millennial women do not consider themselves to be feminists\u201434% because they disagree with the goals associated with modern feminism, 49% because they simply disliked the label, and 17% not giving a reason.<\/p>\n

This relative lack of passion for the pro-abortion cause is consistent with polling of women in general. The 2016 edition<\/a> of Marist\u2019s annual abortion survey found that 82% of women oppose elective abortion past the first trimester of pregnancy and 69% oppose taxpayer funding of abortion. Women also believe abortion has a net harmful effect on women by 56% to 31%. In 2014, Gallup found<\/a> men and women\u2019s abortion views virtually indistinguishable\u201457-58% wanted it generally illegal and 38-41% generally legal. Past abortion polling\u00a0has also found no consistent gender gap<\/a> on the subject.<\/p>\n

This survey\u2019s implication that even pro-choice millennial women don\u2019t consider it their top priority is also reinforced by past<\/a> polling<\/a> that indicates the issue is more likely to be a deal-breaker for pro-life voters than it is for pro-choicers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
