The truth about abortion rights in America. In 1979, Paul Weyrich wanted to change the Republican Party. The New Right. They wanted ultimate power at any cost. The aim was to gain ultimate power by 2032. How could they do this. They needed to actually change religion in America.
#RoeVsWade was passed with little opposition. It was supported by Republicans and Democrats. However, there were small factions of anti-abortion groups. However, today the religious right would have younger Americans believe that it was #RowVsWade that mobilized apolitical
Christians. The story is very, very different. Although leaders of the religious right would have us believe that the Roe decision was the catalyst for their political mobilization in the 1970s, that claim does not withstand historical scrutiny.
