But, since Bush the Younger, there has been a marked turn in the Republican party towards the evangelical "true believers" that want to see abortion outlawed. (Lumping conservative Catholics in with this group.) 9/11 really brought in new blood to the evangelical movement, and the old ones are getting more desperate to ban abortion before they die off. People like Mike Pence, Samuel Alito, and Josh Hawley are the ones that I'm thinking of.
