Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission
In anticipation of the Supreme Court ruling on the Mississippi abortion case Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health, the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission will provide several resources to help Southern Baptists think holistically about how to care well for both mothers and children in a potential post-Roe world. Ultrasound machines will be on display to demonstrate how the Psalm 139 Project provides a window to the womb for abortion-vulnerable women. Attendees will also have an opportunity to receive a free Psalm 139 T-shirt when they sign up to receive updates on the ERLC’s life work both in Washington, D.C., and in our churches.
