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

@DouthatNYT That doesn't mean they're untrue though! The research on each point is fairly solid. — PolitiTweet.org
