I just saw some person morally grandstand about murder in response to a joke about abortion in a comment section somewhere

It feels so uncanny when it's not suburban Evangelical Karens doing it on Facebook but random people presumably under 30

Yes. I’m actually gonna push back on the assumptions in this thread that’s there’s a significant amount of young people who are not religious or were raised without religion and are somehow turning against legal abortion. Support for banning legal abortion tracks very strongly with certain religious persuasions. I have never seen anyone under 40 - IRL or online - who has espoused anti-abortion views who wasn’t already religious.

And young people ARE increasingly less religious, the statistics are pretty stark. That doesn’t lessen the risk of rising fascism of course. But young people are either not raised with religion or turning away from the one they were raised with in droves. There is no statistically significant number of young, irreligious Americans who are all of the sudden turning to religion, especially more conservative versions like Traditional Catholicism or White Evangelicalism.
