"1980:" At the Annual Meeting in St. Louis, the messengers completely reversed their original position on abortion (which was passed nine years earlier, ironically also in St. Louis). This time they passed a resolution condemning the practice, making an exception only to save the life of the mother. Since then, every SBC resolution on the topic has been in support of a strong pro-life view, and has expanded into similar topics such as fetal tissue experimentation, RU-486, and taxpayer funding of abortions generally and Planned Parenthood specifically.
