Interesting. I wonder why?
Several societal forces have conspired to push young women to the left in recent years, including the #MeToo movement, former President Trump, rising LGBTQ identification and, most recently, abortion policy. Slower-cooking trends in marital status and educational attainment have also nudged the needle.

I don’t think that’s it.
I have three daughters and all are pro choice and have said after the SC decision that they would not vote for a candidate who is not pro choice. Interestingly enough one daughter does not think abortion is the right choice for a woman still thinks it should be a womans right to choose.
One daughter who was not political at all and actaully quite indifferent to the political process is now galvanized to vote. Makes me wonder how many more women like her who previously had little interest in politics will now come out to vote.
If I were to guess the explanation, it’s as I’ve shared before, raising a child is like making a long distance shot with a rifle. A mother is the rifling, day to day, 24/7…365. The father is the outer barrel that keeps the bull feces of this world, out of his chamber. So many children are born out of wedlock or in a broken home where a father is not present. That said, the filth of this world enters the children’s lives, much more so than if the father was present and this affects each sex differently.
In our youth, most of us are liberal. We want the best outcomes for all. Then later on for some of us, life teaches a lesson that real life, is having to run up an escalator that’s going down. Your progress is less than the energy you expend. It isn’t equal and it isn’t fair.
A father is a major provider of the internal family strength…displaying to the next generation how to do it and that it can be done. It’s a mental strength that’s necessary to deal with the responsibilities of adulthood, so that when that time arrives in a child’s life, they’re prepared.
IMO when this isn’t displayed to the next generation, there is a greater tendency to lean left, towards relying on their feelings and the world, instead of themselves and their brain. The world, the media, social media and other impurities become the missing father in their lives and they have a greater influence on their decision making…especially females.
The world according to Smyrna. 
Look at college attendance.
The development of a true consciousness is still the professional function of the universities.

I think that this is the majority of pro choice people.
It’s just another full of ■■■■ rag of an article to give libs false hope.
The whole of humanity is trending conservative, and that trend is going to accelerate this decade. You’re all going to be conserving. 
Media and the plea for fee fees. Boys aren’t affected.
Too bad abortion isn’t remotely at the top of the list of likely voters concerns.
choice? you must take that shot
It appears delaying marriage and increasing “self identification” as GLBTQ whatever is also pushing more in the 18-29 age group towards liberalism. More women attending university than men also appears to be a factor.
There’s conservative Hillsdale College in Michigan, but conservative faculty are rare in most universities.
The birth rate in the US has dropped by 20% since 2007, and it wasn’t that high then.
It’s like the traditional role of women just isn’t that interesting to many, any more. That would certainly increase the relevance of abortion.
Maybe there won’t be that many people to be liberal or conservative.
It doesn’t seem that long ago that a hugely overpopulated world was seen as the problem.
I am curious as to how those college attendances break down by area of study. From my memory of decades ago, women would tend more to the liberal arts type classes and men would tend towards the courses that might be more profitable, like engineering or accounting courses. Does that hold true today? I have no idea.
That sounds like a good thing.
This is what happens when women have more representation in the private and public sector.
Told ya so…
… … … For years I’ve said giving women the vote was mistake.

I’d blame that more on abortion than I would on couples opting for one or two children or opting out of parenting altogether.
And I don’t believe it’s strictly 18-29 year old women, as, IIRC, were featured in the article squawking about keeping abortion rights.
You’d be surprised how many middle aged women and mothers of two and more children are squawking along with the young about keeping abortion legal.
Probably has more to do with social media than anything else.
Could societal acceptance of unwed motherhood be contributing to an increase in liberalism among women? IMO desires from penalizing fathers in family court to keeping various welfare benefits intact may be contributing factors.
It isn’t just the traditional roles of women like marriage and motherhood that are being shunned. Some men are so fed up with the antics of women they’re opting out of marriage themselves
Why not? Why are these reasons insufficient?
Yes.

When you say “father”… do you truly mean any father or only conservative fathers?
