Southern Baptist Convention Votes to Oppose IVF by Vast Majority
Jun 12, 2024, 07:40 PM
The Southern Baptist Convention, the nation's largest Protestant denomination, has voted at their annual meeting to oppose in vitro fertilization (IVF). This decision reflects a significant shift within the evangelical community, which has traditionally utilized fertility treatments despite opposing abortion. The vote, which was supported by a vast majority of delegates, indicates a broader turn on the right against IVF, potentially signaling changes in the stance of other conservative groups. The Convention also formally condemns IVF procedures.
