Southern Baptists voted to oppose in vitro fertilization, viewing embryos as human life, hinting at a shift towards fetal personhood in the anti-abortion movement.
The resolution urges Southern Baptists to affirm the right to life for all, including embryos, and to only use reproductive technologies aligning with this stance.
Despite opposing abortion, many Southern Baptists support fertility treatments, viewing the goal of creating life as distinct from abortion, even if unused embryos are destroyed.
With a significant member base in the U.S., the Southern Baptist Convention's conservative sway influences evangelical sentiment on cultural and political matters and remains a notable political entity.
