“This could have really far-reaching implications for other bodily autonomy issues, and I know based on my experience that Gen Z is not going to go quietly as politicians attempt to strip them of their rights.”
Zwick and other young people say the Supreme Court abortion decision could end up jumpstarting political engagement and organizing among members of Gen Z, who are in their teens and early 20s.
Beren believes the Supreme Court abortion decision and other current political topics will spur engagement. On the other side of the political spectrum, anti-abortion rights groups involving young people see the Supreme Court decision as a victory and rallying cry to continue their work. According to data provided by Planned Parenthood Illinois, in the last year, the organization scheduled around 100 out-of-state patients per month. In the first week after Row fell, they scheduled nearly 750 out-of-state patient appointments and their call volume nearly doubled.
While Zerilli does not know how likely the decision is to prevent abortions, she said it will increase the rate of mortality among women.
