Randall Balmer, Round 2
Another excerpt from Randall Balmer’s upcoming book, Thy Kingdom Come, can be found in this NPR article, this time looking into the origins of the Religious Right: The Religious Right’s self-portrayal as mobilizing in response to the Roe decision was so pervasive among evangelicals that few questioned it. But my attendance at an unusual gathering in Washington, D.C., finally alerted me to the abortion myth.
An audio interview is also available.
