Do you genuinely believe that conservative christians right now are on the offensive, and LGBT groups are on the defensive?

I'm not American so i might be mistaken, but can the recent changes in abortion laws across a section of US states be explained in any other way?

Yes—Roe protects abortion through the end of the second trimester, which is out of sync with what 70% of the public believes: https://www.npr.org/2019/06/07/730183531/poll-majority-want-...

Mississippi’s 15-week ban, for example, would make the timing there somewhat more liberal than France or Denmark. It would also be consistent with the 70% of the public that thinks abortion should be legal, but only in the first trimester.

Conservatives are very much in a defensive crouch on Roe.

Do you genuinely believe the opposite? Just because more LGBT people are visible now doesn’t mean they’re winning some kind of fictional PR war.

Yes? Look at the various anti-trans laws or rules being passed, that's very much a fundamental defensive fight for LGBT. Some big companies making nice statements doesn't buy you very much if your healthcare gets killed.

They certainly are because of the Supreme Court makeup.
