"The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) itself had in 1971 urged its members to work for legislation that will allow the possibility of abortion under such conditions as rape, incest, clear evidence of severe fetal deformity, and carefully ascertained evidence of the likelihood of damage to the emotional, mental, and physical health of the mother. However, reflecting the movement of Evangelicalism as a whole (though not mainline Protestantism), in 2003, the SBC declared that this and the 1974 resolution âaccepted unbiblical premises of the abortion rights movement, forfeiting the opportunity to advocate the protection of defenseless women and childrenâ and that âwe lament and renounce statements and actions by previous Conventions and previous denominational leadership that offered support to the abortion culture.â"
