Future of America

[Person Man]

A couple of questions:

1. Why is the political landscape exactly the same in 2052 as it is in 2008?  Forty years is a long time, and I don't think that would happen.

2. With Democrats having such a large majority in the Senate, how would those amendments pass, especially gay marriage and abortion?

And just as a note, it takes 3/4 of the states to pass an amendment, something that would never happen for abortion.

Hmmm.... maybe there was an amendment to make the official religion of the United States Roman Catholicism.

Yeah. America becoming a theocracy under a center-left government?

Isn't it true that in your TL that abortion is punishable by castration by the end of mid century?

No, it's just illegal. And there is no death penatly for it either. Just a huge fine and a long time in jail.

or maybe probation where the offender has to register with some sort of Catholic or Evangelical Christian Reeducation program... like someone who got into trouble with drugs, DUI or Domestic stuff...

Perhaps for a first offender, you would get like 4 or 5 years of Probation and a $900 fine...and you would be subject to the typical prior offender laws (have to register as a felon, get prohibited from voting and put on a FBI "Do Not Carry" watch list...unless you are allowed to take  a First Offender plea)...and as part of the probation, you would have to go to Sunday School and be confirmed into a member of that church  by the time your probation ends or you violate the probation and have to reserve your term of probation in prison and lose your First Offender benefits and become a "Prior Offender".

That's not a Communist thing or a Christian thing its a Force Your Beliefs On Others "thing". ..and what do Commies and Fundies do the best? Let's just say they know how to "persuade" people certain ways.
