Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream

Younger Voters Appear More Pro-Life, Pro-Gay Rights Than Older Voters

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Two authors have released a new book called "Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream" that is generating significant discussion on the Internet. The book makes the case that younger voters are more pro-life and more pro-gay than their older counterparts. Ross Douthat, of The Atlantic and Reihan Salam are behind the new tome. They make the assertion that "the young are more supportive of gay rights and more skeptical of abortion on demand" than older voters. Douthat suggests that younger voters, who are inclined to be more liberal than their parents' or grandparents' generation, view political topics in terms of freedom. While they support the freedom of a gay person to have a different kind of relationship they also support the freedom of the unborn child to live and not be forced to die in an abortion. Meanwhile, a Religion and Ethics Newsweekly survey shows 58 percent of young white evangelicals support civil unions or marriage for gays while 71 percent take a pro-life position and say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases.
