> it's important to note that, during the 70s and early 80s, evangelicals weren't yet considered a "gop group." i seem to remember reading once that, iin the original definition of the "left" and "right" distinction, religious groups were supposed to support the left. the left was all about feelings and safety, and churches fit in with that, while the unfeeling right was supposed to support eugenics and abortion. i can't remember where i read that, though.
