Young, British and Anti-Abortion

Film-maker Poppy Jay meets the Gen Zers leading anti-abortion campaigns. Online, on campuses and on the streets, she finds a movement growing in confidence, profile and money.

The abortion rate in Britain is at the highest on record. While opposition to abortion remains a minority view – a recent British poll found nearly 90 per cent of respondents saying they were pro-abortion – film-maker Poppy Jay wants to explore whether there is a new demographic galvanising the UK anti-abortion movement: Gen Z.

Abortion rights have recently been widely debated in the US, but is a new generation in the UK mounting a powerful pushback here, too? Poppy meets the young British people leading anti-abortion campaigns, asking difficult questions and fighting to end access to abortion. Online, on campuses and on the streets, she finds a movement growing in confidence, profile and money.
