Repealing women's right to vote is a very serious agenda item for the Christian far right. Glad to see the New York Times reporting this out.

Most non-reactionaries do not understand how extreme the Christian right is.

I'm not a Christian, but the Christians I know, question if the Christian right have ever read the bible. The fact the Pope rebuffed Vance with bible quote is a great example.

@mattsheffield thanks for sharing. It amused me a bit because in the UK the far right have recently been complaining about family voting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyxeqpzz2no

@jbenjamint Family voting is wrong for Muslims, but a great idea for Christians.
