Lydia Taylor Davis spends her weeks on college campuses, arguing one of the most contested issues in American life. As a spokesperson for Students for Life, she has become one of the country's most outspoken pro-life voices — and on the Digital Social Hour, she walks Sean Kelly through how she got there, starting with the fact that she was once pro-choice herself.
What follows is a frank tour of the campus culture war: the protests, the security concerns, the arguments she hears most often, and why she believes Gen Z is quietly shifting on abortion.
About Lydia Taylor Davis
Lydia Taylor Davis is a spokesperson for Students for Life, where her work spans campus outreach, public debate, and undercover investigations into the abortion industry. Her conversion story anchors how she connects with students: she arrived at the pro-life position after holding the opposite one.
The role carries real costs — she describes threats serious enough that she now wears a bulletproof vest at campus events, a climate that intensified after Charlie Kirk's death — alongside the moments she counts as the reason for the work, like a mother she helped who later sent a photo of her newborn.
