SUMMARY: The Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S., addressed the contentious issue of in vitro fertilization (IVF) during their annual meeting. They passed a non-binding resolution urging their 13 million members to avoid IVF. This debate has intensified since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, with anti-IVF advocates arguing that it destroys “embryonic human life,” while pro-IVF supporters consider it a vital, safe procedure. The resolution calls for lawmakers to be cautious and consider the moral implications of IVF, emphasizing the sanctity of human life. Further details on the convention's decisions will be provided later.
