Pornography, sports betting, abortion pills: A look at 5 SBC resolutions ahead of its Annual Meeting
Abortion pills
Messengers will also consider a proposed resolution denouncing the use of abortion pills, also known as mifepristone and misoprostol.
Titled “On Standing Against the Moral Evils and Medical Dangers of Chemical Abortion Pills,” the resolution builds upon past pro-life advocacy on the part of the SBC.
“The Southern Baptist Convention has consistently affirmed the dignity and sanctity of preborn life and opposed all forms of abortion, including chemical abortion,” stated the proposed resolution.
“We give thanks to God for the United States Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the federal guarantee of abortion access.”
The proposed measure called on the SBC to “grieve the continued destruction of preborn lives through chemical abortion and condemn the exploitation of women by an abortion industry increasingly reliant on dangerous drugs and deceptive practices.”
“[W]e call upon the Food and Drug Administration to immediately revoke its approval of mifepristone, restore all previously removed safety protocols, and reevaluate chemical abortion drugs using real-world data,” continued the resolution.
“… we urge the United States Congress and state legislatures to pass laws banning the manufacture, sale, distribution, and mailing of chemical abortion drugs, and to hold accountable pharmaceutical companies and medical providers complicit in these harms.”
