๐Ÿ“ฃ Missouri Baptists: there will be a pro-life constitutional amendment on your ballot this November. If passed, this measure would ban most abortions in Missouri, a state which currently allows abortion up to fetal viability. On the latest episode of the ERLC podcast, Dr. Wes Fowler, executive director-treasurer of @mobaptists,ย shares about why this ballot initiative matters for Missouri Baptists and how this vote could affect families and communities in the state. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Listen here or anywhere you stream your podcasts: erlc.com/erlc-podcast/wes-foโ€ฆ
