"The Millennalists"- The Most Pro-Life Generation Yet.

Any parent who has more than one child knows that you make generalizations at your peril. Add innate disposition to birth order to parenting "styles" to changing family economics, etc., etc., and you're quickly reminded that each of your children is a priceless, unique individual.

But this considerable array of differences within families has not prevented best-selling authors from making collective assessments about entire generations! For example, "Generation Y" (or "The Millennalists"), born between 1982 and 2000, have been described by Neil Howe and William Strauss (as one reviewer put it) as "a nurtured generation, slightly conservative, trustworthy, hardworking, cooperative, dependable."

Joleigh Little passionately agrees with the conclusion. If anything, she'd go further in her praise of the young people she works with everyday as director of Wisconsin's Teens for Life.

"They are less 'me, first' than my GenerationGeneration Xand far less so than the Baby Boomers," said Little, who is also Co-Advisor of National Teens for Life. "They are smart, idealistic, and really do want to work on behalf of a cause greater than themselves."

Does that mean they would be receptive to the Pro-Life Movement? "And how!" Little said. "They are not about to fall for 'that 'my body, my choice' garbage."

Little said that when she was in high school in the 1980s, probably three out 23 students were pro-life." Nowadays, she said, "It's not uncommon to have a majority in a classroom that is pro-life."

And not just in religious schools. "Our largest chapter is in a public school." Little said.
