That's not at all a perfect analogy:

* You're not saying evangelical Christians make your preferred form of government impossible.

* You'd be arguing in pursuit of a narrow policy goal, unlike Thiel.

* People choose to be evangelical Christians; they're in part defined by their opposition to abortion. Women don't choose to be born women.

* When you say "evangelicals make reproductive rights more challenging", you're not directly alluding to a franchise those people won within living memory.

Yeah, a better analogy would be if someone were to remark that, "legalized interracial marriage makes it more challenging to keep the Scandinavian bloodline pure."

Pretty sure us Americans feel pretty strongly about freedom from England :-). Pilgrims and Puritans formed the roots of increased religious freedom in America, which led to other freedoms, etc.
