With respect hylomorphism, I agree with Belaqua that many passages of Scripture are suggestive though none seem explicit enough to be dogmatic about. IMO to be human is to be embodied, either materially, or in a "glorified" state, whatever that may entail. However, I am not committed to any theory of mind nor do I think maintaining a Christian faith requires one to do so.
As for the OP and specifically in America, I consider the alignment of politcal conservatism and religious traditionalism to be largely, but not entirely, accidental. Afterall, Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, was the first self-proclaimed evangelical "born again" president. Ultimately though, I think the abortion issue became a near perfect proxy for both religious traditionalism and social conservatism in this country.
