Southern Baptist Convention Takes Stand for Life

The largest Protestant denomination in America, the Southern Baptist Convention, has come out strongly against Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest chain of abortion mills.  It’s also the most aggressive lobbyist on the state and federal level for unrestrained abortion throughout pregnancy.  The Baptists passed a resolution asking Congress and state legislatures to “immediately and completely” defund the abortion giant.  Further, they stated their “absolute commitment to the sanctity of human life.”  The group also urged the Department of Justice to “pursue criminal charges against Planned Parenthood” for selling aborted baby body parts.  It’s encouraging to have such a large religious body stand so firmly and publicly for innocent human life.  Other denominations have done so, but we need everyone on board.
