Quote:In Moscow, Idaho, conservative evangelical pastor Doug Wilson last year praised the nomination of now-U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his opposition to women in combat.
Then, in an interview broadcast last month, Wilson told CNN that in his vision of a Christian America, women would hold few leadership positions beyond being "chief executive" of the home and raising children.
"Women are the kind of people that people come out of," he said. "It doesn't take any talent to simply reproduce biologically."
Meanwhile, at Covenant Bible Church, an evangelical church in suburban Austin, Texas, pastor Joel Webbon has echoed Wilson's view that in a Christian nation, women shouldn’t be able to vote.
"The Handmaid's Tale" doesn't happen all of a sudden. It happens with a continued drumbeat of this kind of thinking, to where it doesn't sound so incredibly awful any more, and normalizing its believers to "come out of the closet" and lend their support openly.
Kind of like transgenderism, come to think of it. And we've seen how culturally accepted that became and to a great extent still is.
