    support policies that promote childbearing.

    …like making abortion legal in all 50 states again? Like comprehensive sex education in schools? Like treating women as people and not property?

    The most effective way for the Southern Baptists to promote childbearing would be for them to stay the fuck out of politics!

      Abortion policies are a DIRECT REASON why I haven’t had any more children. If I can’t have guaranteed access to necessary, life-saving medical treatment (e.g. emergency abortions) then I won’t put my wife’s life at risk for one more child.

      Southern baptists were pro-choice until the rise of the “moral majority” required southern baptists to fall in line with the catholic church on abortion to create the supply side Jesus we know today.

      I was kinda annoyed at the article for not giving any details on the kinds of policies they wanted there, even something as simple as better tax credits for having kids would go a long way towards making children affordable. And yet I am sure that’s not what these people are advocating for.
