Would be good to hear a clear word from rest of national staff of CBF, even Baptist Women in Ministry on this matter.
And part of the conversation should focus on Christine Stansell's New Republic article on the "mendacity" in the politics of the anti abortion crowd.
I do not put Aaron in the mendacity group; he speaks with conviction; still I sense some hesitancy in him to speak about the fundamentalist politics in the SBC that adopted abortion as a wedge isue, a point Randal Balmer makes clear in his bio of Jimmy Carter.
Aaron doesn't say much about the life of the Mother or the individual Mother's conscience, her agency to chose in the first trimester.
Until Aaron can persuade CBF leadership consensus on this matter, thorough going re-examination, seems to me we are left with well politically timed disturbing videos used a s wedge issue for Tea Party ends that still leave a lot of questions unanswered.
A cave in to the Killing Babies outcry, with no regard for the excruciating other questions raised; especially as used as wedge issue for keeping low and middle clas folks voting against their economic interests, a grave sin in itself; Mendacity.
