A staple of the culture wars, the struggle between Christian
conservatives and progressives over sexuality and reproductive
rights continues. Focusing on ex-gay ministries geared to helping
same-sex attracted people resist their sexuality and postabortion
ministries dedicated to leading women who have had an abortion to
repent that decision, Cynthia Burack argues that both are motivated
and characterized by a strain of compassion that is particular to
Christian conservatism rather than a bias and hatred toward sexual
minorities and sexually active women. This compassion reproduces
the sexual ideology of the Christian right and absolves Christian
conservatives from responsibility for stigma and other forms of
harm to postabortive and same-sex attracted people. Using the
democratic theory of Hannah Arendt, the popular fiction of Ayn
Rand, and the psychoanalytic thought of Melanie Klein, Burack
studies the social and political effects of Christian conservative
compassion.
