WI no Pat Robertson?

Pat Robertson born Marion Gordon Robertson started the Christian Broadcasting Network in 1960. Which spawned The 700 club, Regent University and the Family Channel (now known as Freeform).
His father was a long time Democratic Senator from Virginia.


So what happens if he had a car crash or something sometime before 1960.
 
Falwell probably ends up as the undisputed leader of the evangelical movement with a status in it similar to MLK in the Civil Rights Movement, but with significantly less noble aims.

Would that not hurt there movement big time being Falwell is almost always going turn off more people then Pat Robertson would. especially early in the movement. Also without the CBN does Trinity Broadcasting happen at all?

Let's say Pat survives quite nicely thank you very much and becomes a leader in nascent activism for disability rights!

With confidence and charm and matter-of-fact-ness, Pat makes the case that a person who has a disability has the same rights and count as anyone else. And when a minister says, Well, we haven't had any disabled persons wanting to come to services, Pat responds with a twinkle in his eye and says, Maybe if we were accessible, we'd find that disabled persons would like to attend worship services.

And maybe Pat loosens is and is impressed by how many different religions have a version of the golden rule,

Or, he remains a strong evangelical.

And either one is just fine.

And we get an ADA in 1978 instead of 1990? :)

That works if it means he never is a driving force of the Christian Coalition.
 
In GeograhpyDude's scenario, Robertson's advocacy for disability rights could dovetail nicely with those anti-abortionists who argue that terminating pregnancies due to fetal-deformity constitutes a form of eugenics.
