I have always been surprised that the Catholic Bishops have been so willing to align, politically, with the evangelicals on this issue. They haven't historically gotten along well. And the evangelicals were agnostic about abortion, until they realized all the money they could raise by embracing the bans.

If the end-game for this is turning the country (or even the red states) into a theocracy, Catholics are going to find themselves excluded again. Some evangelicals don't even think they count as Christian. And nobody else is going to have sympathy for them, when the ruling class imposes their belief systems on Catholics, because it's exactly what the Catholic Bishops have been doing to other groups through their support of extreme abortion bans.

Nah there will always be plenty of bigoted pastors, churches, and congregations for these people.

This may cause (another) split amongst Christians, but there's no way they give up religion entirely. It's far too useful to them as a tool of control and indoctrination.
