The reason that conservative evangelicals don’t take the time to critically examine the impact of their vote on abortion policy is that their vote is over-determined: they don’t just favor overturning Roe; they also favor right-wing economic and immigration policies, etc.
When they speak of being “conflicted” about their vote, they don’t mean they’re conflicted about policy. They mean they’re conflicted about voting for a candidate who revels in his own viciousness—a man who enjoys being human poorly.
But they’re fine with his policies.

In this way, the chaos of the current political moment allows evangelicals to wring their hands and claim they’re “conflicted” about politics, while continuing to embrace the exact same iniquitous policies they’ve aided and abetted for decades now. It’s sleight of hand.
Perhaps they don’t like the family separation policy, or the fact that the US government is deporting Central American children to Mexico, where these children have never been and where they have no family.
But evangelicals aren’t the least bit bothered by cuts to food stamps or healthcare, or the fact that the US government forces asylum-seekers into refugee camps along our southern border.
So, Christians, here’s the truth you won’t hear from Court Evangelicals like @albertmohler , @ronniefloyd or @jackngraham .
You should spend less time worrying about the President’s character and more time attending to the condition of your soul.
You should spend less time worrying about the President’s character and more time attending to the condition of your soul.
The policies you’ve been embracing for decades should trouble your conscience far more than the President’s lack of decorum.
