Since the overturning of Roe V Wade there has been a huge rise in anti-abortion activists and young people are at the forefront of this new movement. Using powerful social media platforms to specifically target and recruit Gen Z supporters and students, they are evoking debates, marches and rallies which span politics, religion, human and legal rights. Poppy Jay explores this volatile and complex topic, meeting young activists and those who oppose them, asking what are they fighting for and why are Gen Z so anti-abortion?
Abortion rights have recently been widely debated in the US, but is a new generation in the UK mounting a powerful pushback too? Poppy meets the young 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.

She is patient but pressing as she meets those involved."
