Dear Frances,
During last night's conversation I observed that white conservative Christians are increasingly aware that scientific discovery demonstrates with increasing clarity that evolution (which contradicts Christianity's "creation story") and global warming (which necessitates coordinated inter-governmental action, not just credal declaration of one's salvific "personal relationship with God") are both real.
There is also the statistical finding that societies providing "safe, legal abortion," "sex education" and "unashamed access to birth control" have fewer abortions than societies that do not provide these three services. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160511210615.htm
Currently, the abortion rate in the United States is lower than it was on the eve of Roe v. Wade -- and the incidence of abortion continues its steady, decades-old decline.

There was a time when Christians could have (and would have) argued against the manifest benefits of "safe, legal abortion," "sex education" and "readily available birth control" by affirming the principle (universally expressed during The Cold War) that "the end does not justify the means."
Now however, conservative Christians have foresaken that argument by not only electing the whoremonger-cultural-terrorist-democracy-destroying-chest-thumping simian but by sharing his bestial bed.
To be clear, conservative Christians (overwhelming white people) justify this neo-sodomist bedmate alliance by asserting that "the end DOES justify the means."

Many Christians Live In An Unbreakable Bubble Of Biblical And Theological Dunderheadedness
No matter which "end" of the argument one examines, conservative Christians have sold their souls and will not get them back: their "values" have been discredited and, as statistics show, they are "going out with a whimper." https://churchleaders.com/pastors/pastor-articles/139575-7-startling-facts-an-up-close-look-at-church-attendance-in-america.html

I have long held that The Doctrine of Infallibility was ramrodded through the First Vatican Council because science-and-technology had begun to erode church authority by providing people with predictable cures that turned them away from erstwhile reliance on vanishingly-rare church-mediated miracles, making them believers in the dependable "miracles" made possible by Science and Technology.
