A Christian America Would Outlaw Abortion, IVF, Same-Sex Marriage, Pornography and Pride Events

If I were to describe what a Christian America in the mid-21st century would look like, it would be all human abortion would be outlawed, including pills and including [abortifacients?], IVF.

In Douglas Wilson’s own words: 3 quotes from 2025, from On the Line, CNN and The Young Turks, each cited to the source.

If I were to describe what a Christian America in the mid-21st century would look like, it would be all human abortion would be outlawed, including pills and including [abortifacients?], [Host: "IVF."] IVF. All human abortion would be outlawed. [Obergefell?] would be overturned... I would like to see all 50 states return to one man, one woman is the only form of marriage that we recognize... I would like to outlaw porn.

We wouldn’t have pride parades. We wouldn’t have abortion on demand. You know, those things would be gone.

[Cenk Uygur: "No. No. But in a Christian nation, I don't mean right now."] Oh, so in a Christian nation we would outlaw abortion... If I were president, what kind of measure would I pass? I would outlaw all human abortion. Period... And I would say, "Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. I want to impose my morality..." I want to impose Christian morality on the doctor and the mother and say to them, you can't do that... [Cenk Uygur: "So, but in a Christian nation, you would just overrule them and go, 'Sad day for you. You don't get to believe in your own morality.'"] That's correct.
