SBC to Consider Somewhat Strong Resolution Against Chemical Abortions
The Southern Baptist Convention has finally taken aim at one of the most overlooked, under-preached evils in the modern church… chemical abortion. For years, many professing Christians have quietly participated in this silent slaughter, regularly using birth control pills and so-called emergency contraception with abortive effects, all while their pastors stand mute behind the pulpit, unwilling to jeopardize their popularity by telling the truth.
The resolution to be considered at the 2025 SBC Annual Meeting, titled "On Standing Against the Moral Evils and Medical Dangers of Chemical Abortion Pills," is, to its credit, a pretty strong document. It pulls back the curtain on a practice that too many churches have conveniently ignored for far too long. It calls chemical abortion a spiritual, physical, and societal scourge and rightly grieves the destruction of life caused by these drugs.
It even demands the federal government to revoke approval of mifepristone and misoprostol, the abortion industry's chemical hitmen.
"We 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," the resolution states.
Deceptive indeed. Because the things is that while this resolution speaks strongly against the drugs and the industry behind them, it does what nearly every other supposedly "pro-life" statement does—it quietly tiptoes around the moral agency of the women choosing to ingest these death pills.
