Today's white Christian nationalists are looking more and more like Nazis

The Supreme Court disregarded the issue of precedent when it overturned Roe v. Wade (1973) in 2022. In its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, the court unraveled the legal right to abortion that had been enshrined for nearly 50 years. The court left it to the states to decide whether they would legalize reproductive rights.

Since Dobbs, many state legislatures have banned reproductive healthcare for pregnant people and those who wish to become pregnant, as well as mifepristone and misoprostol, the safe and effective drugs used in medication abortions. The national drugstore chain Walgreens was the first to ban the drugs even in states where abortion remains legal.

Several organizations sued the government for access to reproductive care, including abortion. Some Jewish and Muslim groups sued on religious grounds since their respective faith communities allow abortion.

A press release from Muslim Advocates stated: “The Supreme Court’s radical decision to overturn Roe v. Wade represents a dangerous Christian nationalization of American law and kicks open the door to future reversals of the right to contraception, the right to marry whomever you want and even the right to teach your children a language of your choice. By upholding a law that defines life as beginning at conception, the U.S. Supreme Court has enshrined the religious doctrine of one minority religious community into law — violating the First Amendment principle of religious freedom…”

That's what they would say if they weren't trying to keep the quiet part quiet. Dog whistles and code words are the usual stuff, but sometimes they slip and say the quiet part out loud. They're getting bolder as they see gains in Congress andook forward to their messiah returning to the presidency.
