"Abortion, for example, is never mentioned in the Bible. When the Supreme Court handed down a decision in Roe v. Wade, in 1973, the Baptist Press praised it for 'advancing the cause of religious liberty, human equality, and justice.' Jerry Falwell did not preach his first anti-abortion sermon until 1978-when the nascent Religious Right was casting about for ways to attack Democrats as moral relativists stuck in the 'Bad Sixties.' The Southern Baptist Convention did not oppose abortion until 1980." -- Stephen Prothero, 2016-03-13
