We (Tennessee Baptists) believe God is the creator of life, and therefore He rightly defines all life, and when life begins. While we acknowledge that many people reject the God of the Bible, we urge everyone to consider the ways in which God has revealed Himself in creation (all He has made), conscience (the universal sense of right and wrong in people and all cultures), and Scripture (His written message to us).

Because God is the author of life, and has revealed Himself to all people, we believe He has shown us in natural revelation (creation and conscience) and special revelation (Scripture) that life begins at conception. This is increasingly borne out in science, which, as it advances, continues to affirm the biblical truth of life and personhood in the womb.

We further believe that since life begins at conception, the U.S. Constitution provides all people, born and unborn, with the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These Constitutional provisions are and should be sufficient to legally protect the lives of our state and country’s unborn children.

Therefore, we, the undersigned Tennessee Baptists, urge all of our elected and appointed officials to exercise their full authority in such a way as to protect the lives of all people from the point at which God grants life (conception) to the point at which He brings it to an end (death).

Deckaration of Independence, "... that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Life, born and unborn, has the right to live!

It is our responsibility as Christians to stand in the gap on behalf of the unborn, the elderly, and anyone else who is unvalued by a depraved culture. All are created in the image of God, all are valued and loved.

Let's do everything possible to protect and defend the life of an unborn child AND at the same time, love the women who might be facing the greatest challenge of their lives.

Praying for the elimination of this blight on our culture and for the church to step up in the wake of the illegality of abortion in Tennessee and end the unwantedness of children in our state through adoption, foster care and mentoring, especially in lower income urban areas currently targeted by abortion providers.

As an expecting mother myself, my prayer is that all women would value the precious life they themselves possess as well as the life of their sweet babies. Thank you TBMB for being the voice for Tennessee Southern Baptists.
