Conservative governance in general uses Biblical teachings purely for show. In an effort to set modern society back to the 1800s, they are using what they believe to be an unassailable source for their actions.
As recently as the late 1970s, evangelicals and Southern Baptists were at worst ambivalent about abortion rights. The anti-abortion stance of that particular set of people is tied pretty heavily to opposition to desegregation.

This is a great point to emphasize in this thread, since it otherwise happens to focus on Catholicism. This cynical use of religion to grouns conservative policy in beliefs not adressable by normal public debate is not at all limited to Catholicism.
