I meant to say that Vance’s point about the fears of Muslims and Sharia law is
surely also part of the explanation. The evangelical rank and file conceives
religious liberty mostly in terms of their own religious liberty – they are
certainly not the only ones, but as Vance notes, they are an important voting
block on this issue – and when attention is focused on religious liberty for
Muslims instead, many of them will take a different view. So that no doubt
affected some votes. But it was NARAL and Planned Parenthood that spent the
money.
