When someone says the term “Culture War,” the first issues that usually come to mind are access to abortion or same-sex marriage. These are two of the most well-known ‘social issues’ in American religion and politics over the last several decades. Interestingly, both areas have seen a lot of newsworthy events in recent years – the Supreme Court decision Dobbs v. Jackson essentially gave states the power to regulate abortion access and Obergefell v. Hodges made same-sex marriage legal in all fifty states.
