Three big problems: 1) The processes that led to extreme polarization began with FDR and were pretty much about race 2) Emergence of religious right was a reaction to school desegregation, not Roe 3) Mass evangelical opposition to abortion is a relatively modern phenomenon — PolitiTweet.org

Seems to me that the argument that Roe kickstared polarization is largely at odds with the data on partisan realignment — PolitiTweet.org

My read of the history is that the religious right emerged as an intentional political project, not in organic opposition to abortion — which became a vital part of the project as it developed. Not obvious to me why keeping abortion on the ballot would have discouraged this. — PolitiTweet.org
