Not sure how it would sell to the public, but I know I would buy that. That has always been my cut-off (outside of medical exigency, of course). Three months is enough time for a decision, IMO. But then again, I'm a mean and insensitive former Army officer... LOL!

There is also a very real desire by the Evangelical right to erode the line between church and state, and with the Court's recent decisions in Carson v. Makin and Kennedy v. Bremerton, it seems the Court's conservative majority is in agreement.

These are all things voters will have to consider. They must decide how much they value and want to retain the implicit right to privacy, the freedom to enjoy bodily autonomy, the ability to legally marry anyone you want, the continued separation of church and state, etc.

Yeah, I probably should have directed my commentary more to the religious factor rather than towards a conservative agenda as a whole. I sense there is much more tolerance for the conservative agenda by itself compared to the agenda combined with the religious factor.
