A Trump Cabinet Member Endorsed a Pastor Who Wants the 19th Amendment Repealed, and the Danger Is Growing
“ ‘Similarly, Julie Ingersoll author of ‘The Christian Reconstruction Movement in U.S. Politics’ (a chapter in the Oxford Handbook Topics in Religion), argues that the broader goal of Reconstruction ‘dominion theology’ seeks ‘the complete transformation of every aspect of culture to bring it under the authority of biblical law, which they understand as speaking to every aspect of life.’ This extends to tangible violence justified as part of Biblical ‘warfare,’ including capital punishment under Biblical Law. This includes capital punishment for rape and kidnapping alongside homosexuality, and for women, ‘unchastity before marriage.’

Fellow Reconstructionist proponent Joseph Morecraft argues that women serving in civil leadership roles “is a sign of God’s judgement on a culture.” Thus, it makes sense that Doug Wilson, co-founder of the CREC network, stated that the 19th Amendment ‘was a bad idea.’”
