As evidence, she cited examples of other countries that now allow homosexual marriage. "We've seen it (fines and imprisonment of pastors) in Canada; we've seen it in Australia. If we think that we in the United States are immune from that sort of hellish attack - and that is the genesis of that attack - we are woefully foolish. That possibility is residing in the wings and depending upon who becomes president that will either die in the wings or be facilitated out into the sunlight."

Women Should Get Active

Schlafly said she believes every evangelical Christian woman should find a cause and support it or a candidate to believe in and work for his/her election.

"I believe in being active," said Schlafly. "Women can volunteer at least every two years. In their churches, they can run a voter registration and voter education programs."

Parshall also feels that evangelical Christian women need to be involved, but she said that there are two primary reasons why many are not.

"From a practical perspective, Christian women in this country are exhausted. We are trying to do 'way too much haven't abandoned the idea that we should 'have it all together.' If we aren't doing everything to perfection, we are fully convinced we have failed. Taking on the challenges of the culture is just one more thing on our plate. We don't think we do everything else particularly well, so why on earth would we take on anything as big and burdensome as those cultural battles? We have bought into the idea that we can have it all. It's true: we can have it all, just not at the same time. Hopeless, hapless and helpless and burned out and the results are that we are rendered ineffectual for the kingdom. 

But Parshall thinks that there is a second reason as well: "We women have decided to listen to the majority report from the spies rather than the minority report. As a result, we are convinced that there are giants in the land and we are just grasshoppers. And we think, 'Abortion has been the law of the land since 1963 and it's only gotten worse. What role could I possibly play in redeeming that?'
