The Catholic church fought the easy divorce laws, and the Protestants stood back silently because the elites told them this was the evil Catholic church trying to foist their beliefs on America.
And when abortion was made a "choice" up to the time of birth, the protestants also were told that the evil Catholics wanted to foist their beliefs on America, so most were silent (I say most, because Dr. Koop back then did oppose abortion, but I can't remember any other prominent Protestant doctor or church leader who did the same).
When Catholics opposed euthanasia in Oregon, again the media went by the meme that the evil Catholics were trying to foist their out of date beliefs on society.
Now with "gay marriage" the Bible churches are the target, but actually it is the Catholics and LDS churches who have been most active in opposing these laws.

Have you noticed also it has been the Protestant churches embracing homosexuality and abortion? The Episcopagan on the leading edge? Others like the Presbys and Methodist are splitting over this. Yet we the Catholics were forcing our beliefs on everyone?
You know I don’t think that is correct. Catholics just held true to our beliefs while all others showed their true colors and came out of the closet!
