The article explores the influence of Christian nationalism in America under President Trump's administration, paralleling fears of a dystopian future similar to Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale". It highlights the implications of policies such as strict abortion laws and the erosion of birthright citizenship. The author reflects on a debate with Erin Hawley, who supports anti-abortion laws while espousing a religious agenda, and notes the alarming trend that such ideologies could extend beyond the US to threaten freedoms in the UK and Europe.
Hawley argued that Roe was a usurpation of democratic process made by an all-male supreme court. She mentioned the constitution a lot but, curiously, I didn't hear her mention God.
During the debate, Hawley described her decision to fight Roe as a calling from God, putting her success down to the prayers of believers.
The overt religious agenda of Hawley's podcast is completely at odds with the legalese she presented during our debate.
what is happening in the US could happen here. This road to Atwood's Gilead is charting a course straight through the UK and Europe.
