I would like for the Southern Baptist Convention to clarify an important point:
Do IVF babies have souls?

"Do IVF babies have souls?"
We'll know if Alabama gives 10 dependent write-offs for that one woman's 10 frozen eggs.

Humans playing with life or death at the cellular level is unacceptable.
Yet, playing with life or death at local, regional, or global scales, generally through environmental pollution, commercialization of basic needs to live, war, the total failure to support "their fellow man", all that is perfectly acceptable.
The word for this behavior is hypocrisy.

I wonder if they bought some votes for this by letting the No Women Pastors vote lose, which it did.
Personally, I don't care what they do as an, "Association", more what they lend their support to when it comes to law and politics.
Trump is right (never thought I'd type those words!) to be worried about his messaging, as the article notes, for both this issue and abortion, as both affect lots of people regardless of their politics.

This type of mindset by special interest groups are why the U.S. is behind other regions in stem cell research.

I'd like to loudly invite all Southern Baptists who care about women and those who struggled to have children to publicly join either branch of the Methodist Church.

Some recent clients have plunged me into the world of Santorum-level Catholic craziness when it comes to fetuses.
Women/families who celebrate a miscarried child's due date as a family birthday. "Three years later, my children still miss the sister they didn't know."
Miscarriages and stillbirths are all named and they serve intercessory functions in heaven.
Mothers insisting on holding the remains of a miscarriage at 10 weeks.
Looney tunes.
Southern Baptists are universally wrong on just about everything. It's what happens when you've had a methodical driving out of dissenting voices for 45 years.
I knew a Southern Baptist pastor who was at Southern Seminary in 1979, the beginning of the takeover. Guy liked to bring up Metallica. I can't imagine many like him followed in his footsteps.

The "christian" right is expanding their war on women.

Why is IVF necessary? Isn't this planet already overpopulated?

Heres a revolutionary idea.
Leaving "sugar honey iced tea" that don't concern you alone.

@#12 you'll have to forgive those horrible monsters that want to have a child.
@#11 I think those were Lutherans.

this is religious zealotry, not ignorance, that can be addressed... but zealotry morphs into fanaticism. look no further than Ireland, England, Sweden, France to see what the religious abrogation of personal freedom can do. with all the pressing problems we face...but they'd say they were saving a baby. and they vote

white baptist sects are little more than an 'organized hate group for Jesus' anymore.
Most of their agenda reflects hate towards one group or another. They cannot stand by and let others live the way they want to live. They just HAVE to get involved...

And so one group is working to take away a needed medical procedure from all women, because if it weren't available in the 1500's, it must not be "godly"? The American Taliban is, more and more, showing itself to be the enemy of reason an decency, but hey, Trump is their guy so he must be godly, whatever that means?

This is like abortion. Many of these people voting against IVF? If they want either one they will get one anyway. The truth will be hidden, something the hard Right is good at.

"The resolution, which was passed by nearly 11,000 so-called messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting"
No problem. All we have to do is form a group of 12,000 people to ban Southern Baptists.

"All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 Baptists, which is one more than we have because we won the state."

What did you expect from a church that was founded on the principle of preserving Black slavery?
These are not good people.

Cool. So don't use IVF.
Not hard.

People that need IVF are a bad enough situation you would think that everyone else would feel the need to f*** off and leave them alone.
