Emily, I read that same article about abortion clinics having trouble restaffing, and what stuck out was this quote about my generation from Hope clinic Executive Director Sally Burgess:
Younger women have always had access to abortion care, they don’t fully appreciate the battle that was fought to have it available to them. And more important, I don’t think they know how precarious the option is at this point, even with Obama’s election. ... What I observe for women in their 20s and 30s—there are fewer who really have the fire in the belly for this.
It reminded me of the comments from lesbian separatist Lamar Van Dyke in The New Yorker a few weeks back about the lack of radicalism in young people today as compared with the '60s and '70s. And I still wonder: Is it just boomer posturing, or are we really a generation without "fire in the belly"?
