Christians Against Christianity Episode 2: The Abortion Obsession
In the second part of this series, Dr. Obery Hendricks, Dr. Charlene Sinclair, and Peter Laarman take a deep dive into what white Christian nationalists actually worship: power, wealth, and (most of all) whiteness.
American evangelicals were once in broad alignment with other groups in regard to abortion. Now they are overwhelmingly aligned with the Catholic bishops, with the "right to life" becoming a familiar dog whistle in evangelical circles. Dr. Hendricks, Dr. Sinclair, and Rev. Laarman discuss what a real life-centered ethic looks like. They also excavate the roots of the abortion obsession, going back to the time when conservative strategists realized that explicit anti-Black racism was no longer acceptable and needed a new wedge issue to stir up their base.
