It's the white evangelical Protestants who are in favor of oppressive laws. In general, American Catholics are fairly reasonable about human rights. Look at Jie Biden. And mainstream Protestants are fairly progressive.

It doesn't surprise me at all that the right-wing women and men are equal in their support of oppression.
