There is currently a lot of debate about whether Vance Boelter was an outlier for Christian extremism, and whether anti-abortion extremism is an outlier for Christianity. The reality is, the anti-abortion movement is inextricably linked to Replacement Theory and anyone who believes in it.
Anti-abortion ideologies: The common ground of extremism, based on replacement theory.
A venn diagram shows the overlap of Christian Nationalism (Quiverfull), White Nationalism (14 words), and Techno Fascism (Pro-Natalism). Where CN and WN overlap - Christian Militias. Where WN and TF overlap: Non-Religious Militias. Where TF and CN overlap: 7 Mountains, Network State. In the center where all three overlap: Accelerationism.
