IMO, the chance of losing white Christian Democrats to the Republican party over something like this is highly unlikely. If something like this upsets white Christian democrats that much, then they would have been Republicans a long time ago.

The real goal here is to remind potential minority Republicans and independents that the Republican party doesn't have your interests in their hearts and minds. A vote for the Republicans would be a vote against your self interest.
