The Southern Baptist Convention adopted a lengthy resolution this week that, in part, calls for the overturning of the Supreme Court’s 2015gay marriage ruling.
The text of the resolution, titled, “On Restoring Moral Clarity through God’s Design for Gender, Marriage, and the Family,” calls “for the overturning of laws and court rulings, including Obergefell v. Hodges, that defy God’s design for marriage and family.”
The multifaceted and wide-ranging resolution calls “for laws that affirm marriage between one man and one woman, recognize the biological reality of male and female, protect children’s innocence against sexual predation, affirm and strengthen parental rights in education and healthcare, incentivize family formation in life-affirming ways, and ensure safety and fairness in athletic competition.”
It also urges defunding Planned Parenthood and directing public funds toward “life-affirming healthcare providers.”
