SCOTUS to dump Roe v. Wade: Supreme Court to Overturn Roe v. Wade According to Leaked Draft Opinion.

The ideological battle within American politics of evangelicals and conservative Catholics vs. secular leftists was a big battle after the sexual revolution in the 1960s occurred. The evangelicals and conservative Catholics have won and are gaining traction in a bigger way. If you doubt me, you will become a true believer in this notion after Roe vs. Wade is overturned in 2022. Nearly all the U.S. Supreme Court justices who are ruling against Roe are Catholics who attended Catholic high schools and one of them went to a Catholic university (Amy Coney Barrett went to Notre Dame).

And who have been the most ardent pro-life advocates right from the beginning of the pro-life movement? Catholics. When I did some consulting work for a pro-life organization, a very large percentage of the people that I worked with were Catholics.

Biden is letting a lot of Mexicans and Latin Americans into the USA as illegal immigrants and judging by the masses Hispanics are leaving the Democratic Party that is not going to fix the Democratic Party over the long term - especially if the wall is completed if Trump becomes president in 2024. Most of Latin America is anti-abortion - especially at the local level (Most of the individual states in Mexico are anti-abortion due to the influence of the Catholic church). Latin America is not a bastion of feminism either judging by the prevalence of machismo-like attitudes among Latin American men.

Protestants have played a role in the defeat of Roe vs. Wade too. For example, Donald Trump is a Protestant who appointed the 3 U.S. Supreme Court justices who went to Catholic high schools and evangelicals played a large part as far as Donald being elected. And in Latin America and among Hispanic Americans evangelicalism is growing rapidly.

The Birkbeck College, University of London professor Eric Kaufmann wrote in his 2010 book Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth? concerning the culture war in America:

"High evangelical fertility rates more than compensated for losses to liberal Protestant sects during the twentieth century. In recent decades, white secularism has surged, but Latino and Asian religious immigration has taken up the slack, keeping secularism at bay. Across denominations, the fertility advantage of religious fundamentalists of all colours is significant and growing. After 2020, their demographic weight will begin to tip the balance in the culture wars towards the conservative side, ramping up pressure on hot-button issues such as abortion. By the end of the century, three quarters of America may be pro-life. Their activism will leap over the borders of the 'Redeemer Nation' to evangelize the world. Already, the rise of the World Congress of Families has launched a global religious right, its arms stretching across the bloody lines of the War on Terror to embrace the entire Abrahamic family."[1]
