The first course of action is the fight to maintain Republican control of the Senate through the two Senate runoff elections in Georgia.
“We right away shifted from the presidential race when we knew there was nothing more we could do and moved to Georgia as the backstop against every bad thing a Biden administration and the House want to cook up,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the anti-abortion group the Susan B. Anthony List.
“At this point, the Senate is the firewall against wholesale structural change in the United States,” said Timothy Head, executive director of the Faith and Freedom Coalition. “It can hardly be overstated how important it is to retain a Republican majority in the Senate.”

When Biden takes office, Trump executive orders on abortion and religious liberty will surely be scrapped. “Most of us expect to see the Mexico City policy reversed,” said Head, referring to an executive action banning federal funding to international family planning organizations that perform or advocate for abortions overseas. The policy historically changes every time control of the White House shifts from one party to the other.

But other Biden goals can only be achieved through legislation. Social conservatives fear that Democrats will expand the Supreme Court to add more liberal justices, though Biden has been noncommittal about the idea.

“They believe Biden and [Vice President-elect Kamala] Harris are serious about changing the Supreme Court balance of power and adding senators,” Dannenfelser said of the conservative voters and donors she has contacted in Georgia and elsewhere.

Even with such major pieces of legislation that are too heavy a lift for a Democratic Senate that will at most be 50-50 and reliant on Harris’s tie-breaking vote, there are other bills social conservatives would need to organize against. There is the Freedom of Choice Act, which seeks to codify Roe v. Wade, and the Equality Act, which would similarly write protections for sexual orientation and gender identity into federal civil rights law.

If centrists continue to win personnel battles shaping the Biden administration, some socially conservative organizations could still work with the White House on criminal justice reform, mental health issues, and curbing human trafficking. “We believe the First Step Act was a constructive, bipartisan piece of legislation,” Head stated. “We reject whole cloth defunding the police and legalizing narcotics or prostitution.” So far, these are compatible with Biden’s positions.

Some social conservatives are still holding out hope that Trump, who despite his unorthodox history as a brash New York businessman and reality TV star frequently delivered for them, will still win a second term. “There's really nothing we non-lawyers can do,” Dannenfelser claimed.
