As much as the evangelicals get the lion’s share of attention, there’s a significant bloc of traditional and conservative Catholics in the cultural conservatism movement, and Catholicism has a long-standing gripe with any “interference” with “God’s plan” when it comes to reproduction. Back in the 50’s and 60’s, evangelicals had qualms about touching abortion politics precisely because they saw it as a Catholic thing. But nowadays the divide isn’t there like it used to, and conservative Catholics have become more Protestant-like in their relationship to their religion, so it’s an easier sell to evangelicals; I suspect restrictions on prescription and OTC contraceptives will be next.
