Bigotry of the Liberals
by Paul Adams

Commentary

Judge Amy Coney Barrett poses a difficulty for liberals. Many of the Democratic Party’s leaders and activists are hostile to Christian, especially Catholic, belief. The largest “religious” group among Democrats is the “nones,” those unaffiliated with any organized religion.

But these nones constitute only 28 percent of Democrats according to a 2014 Pew survey, compared with 64 percent who identify as Christian and 8 percent as of other non-Christian faiths. An anti-Christian and anti-Catholic animus may be loudly expressed among activists and leaders of the party, but it’s not shared as widely among others.

The party has made unconditional support for abortion into a litmus test for those who hold office. The party wants to resume the funding of abortion in other countries and to rescind the Hyde amendment in the United States. For most of his political career of half a century, Joe Biden opposed federal funding of abortion and supported the Hyde amendment—a measure estimated to save some 60,000 lives a year. But in 2019, under pressure from activists and opponents in the primaries, Biden suddenly abandoned what had been a core principle of his public life.
