On Abortion: Early in his career, Dobson was, like most evangelicals, indifferent—writing that the Bible was largely silent on the issue. But in the 1980s, he realized it was the golden goose of outrage politics, so suddenly he became a staunch crusader. Not because of his beliefs—because it paid, and led to more power.

The fundamentalists found the vending machine of evangelical rage, hit the abortion button, and watched the donations fall out.
