They supported roe v Wade. Same with Presbyterians. Other Protestants have varying conditional positions on it. It’s far from settled doctrine. It primarily baptists/evangelicals and Catholics that have the most conception-based positions on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this writer forgot about the Huguenots, Waldenses, and Central American natives who were violently abused by the Catholic faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of those, like the article kind of goes into, only Catholicism really has a consistent history of it's anti-abortion/contraception positions. Evangelicals took up the anti-abortion label first out of political convenience and utility several decades ago, and then later molded it to fit in with their religious doctrines that they now claims as paramount. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholics being guilty of persecuting religious minorities doesn't mean protestants never persecuted Catholics in return...especially when Protestantism became a more dominate religious concept around the country. The largely protestant KKK of the early 1900's hated Catholicism almost as much as they did minorities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
