Largest Protestant US group condemns IVF in win for anti-abortion movement

At Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting, delegates voted to avoid the infertility treatment

The largest Protestant group in the US has condemned the use of in vitro fertilization, a move that is sure to inflame the already white-hot battle over IVF and reproductive rights in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v Wade.

On Wednesday, during the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting, delegates voted in favor of a resolution that urges Southern Baptists to reaffirm the unconditional value and right to life of every human being, including those in an embryonic stage, and to only utilize reproductive technologies consistent with that affirmation".
