I know a few hardcore Christian women who voted for Trump. Anti-choice is a hell of a drug.

Religious Fundamentalist women have a tougher mental barrier to get through than most. For the Christian fundies I grew up with, women 1] are literally created FOR men (1 Corinthians 11:9), 2] have been deemed by God as incapable of governing themselves, so they must be ruled by their husbands (Genesis 3:16), and 3] must vow to Obey their husbands as they would God Himself.

Like Jovial's story about the miscarriage. The bible decrees that if women have trouble with a pregnancy, it's because they're not trusting and faithful enough (1 Timothy 2:15), so if she is a fundie, she likely thinks her lifesaving abortion was a result her failure to believe enough. Her God literally says that if she had died back then, then she brought it on herself. It's all inculcated woman-hating victim-blaming Family Values rot.
