Why are more Americans calling themselves pro-life?

Pro-choice and pro-life activists have competing theories of their own about why Gen Y in particular is tilting away from choice. Some pro-choicers attribute the shift to abstinence-only sex education. Alternatively, the young pro-life activists I spoke to wonder if they have more support because of improved ultrasound technology. "My generation has seen ultrasound photos of ourselves and our siblings," Kelsey Hazzard, the president of secularprolife.org, says, "so it's sort of hard to put the 'fetuses are just a clump of tissues' line past us."
