SBC Abortion Resolution

The SBC Resolution "On Abolishing Abortion" has gotten some negative feedback in the last few days. The resolution itself may be read HERE.
Dana Hall McCain said:
There are two very distinct types of pro-life advocates. One type wants to end abortion, has an actual working knowledge of what that requires in our judicial and legislative systems, and uses strategic expertise to save as many lives as possible while setting the table to topple Roe v. Wade.

The other type wants to lie on the floor kicking and screaming like a child throwing a tantrum, expecting the wider world to capitulate to that. Their strategy might end abortion in Fantasy Land, but not in the United States of America.
Southern Baptist Convention’s problematic abortion resolution
Denny Burk Richard Land et al said:
The original resolution rejected incrementalism altogether...

Incrementalism is the idea that, while we all are working for the complete abolition of abortion, we also want to support measures to limit and curtail abortion along the way to save as many lives as we can. The sponsors of this resolution reject incrementalism because they say it gives up on the principle of the sanctity of every human life, and we ought not surrender that principle. We must protect all lives, not just some of them.

But that approach would be a little bit like Eisenhower setting the goal to capture Berlin but refusing to invade Normandy until all of France and Germany can be conquered at once.

An "abortion" to save the life of the mother is not an abortion. It's a life saving medical procedure. Some Karens just want to find something to concern their busy bodied selves with.
While these incremental laws help in a sense, they harm in the overall battle. The issue of 14th Amendment status of unborn baby must be forced to Supreme Court decision.

It was is good resolution. It had near majority support until an emotionally charged speech by the ERLC speaking against it. Even after that, it still passed. Despite attempts to keep it off the floor and to kill it by procedural tactics.

Genesis 9:5-6, ". . . And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. . . ."
1 John 3:15, ". . . ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. . . ."
