“Christians, get out and vote, just this time,” Trump exclaimed to a cheering crowd in West Palm Beach, Fla.

“You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians” he added.

“I love you Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote,” Trump said.

      Something else to consider - from my experience the majority of christians don’t make it their entire identity. After all, do not pray for others to see, etc. etc.

      People you know to just be regular peeps who are pro choice have a decent chance of being christian, just the shut up and love thy neighbor type, as opposed to the “LOOK AT ME, IM SO CHRISTIAN” type.

      So there are two axis in which people can be overlooked and quiet - one for religious affiliation, one for their stance on abortion.

      Jon Ronson’s podcast miniseries on the culture wars talk about when abortion was adopted by the evangelical movement. It had a lot to do with some prominent pastors’ son regretting an abortion. I don’t remember the specifics, but that miniseries was great.
