[quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing. Southern baptists used to be okay with abortion. They felt it was a private decision between a woman and her doctor, and that there shouldn’t be laws against it. https://www.johnstonsarchive.net/baptist/sbcabres.html Then in the 70’s, the segregated schools evangelicals created were going to lose tax exempt status, so they needed to get Carter out of office and get someone conservative in to try to slow the IRS’s roll. They couldn’t very well say, Christians, come vote to oppress black people, and they were throwing around ideas to see what would get out the vote. Abortion was the winner. Basically, anti abortion advocates were created to perpetuate racism. They killed two birds with one stone, trampling women’s rights and minorities’ rights. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/05/religious-right-real-origins-107133/ https://www.npr.org/2019/06/20/734303135/throughline-traces-evangelicals-history-on-the-abortion-issue [/quote]
