Unlike all other age groups, Millennials register different levels of support for the availability and legality of abortion. On the one hand, Millennials are strongly committed to the availability of abortion and are significantly more likely than the general public to say that at least some health care professionals in their community should provide legal abortions (68% vs. 58% respectively).

These findings suggest general measures of legality may not fully capture support for legal abortion among Millennials.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
