FILE - Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally, June 6, 2024, in Phoenix. Trump on Monday, June 10, will address a Christian group that calls for abortion to be"eradicated entirely," as the presumptive Republican nominee again takes on an issue that Democrats want to make a focus of this year's presidential election.
Like the GOP, the Southern Baptist Convention has moved steadily to the right since the 1980s, and its members were in the vanguard of the wider religious movement that strongly supported Republican presidents from Ronald Reagan to Trump. The Conservative Baptist Network, one of the event’s sponsors, wants to move the conservative denomination even further to the right.
And Albert Mohler, longtime president of the denomination’s flagship seminary and once an outspoken Clinton critic, wrote a column after Trump's conviction attacking Democrats for supporting transgender rights. Trump has said he would not sign a national abortion ban and in an interview on the Fox News Channel last week, when commenting on the way some states are enshrining abortion rights and others are restricting them, said that “the people are deciding and in many ways, it’s a beautiful thing to watch.”
