I remember the debate within the SBC between the conservatives and the liberals. The SBC Seminaries had been run by liberals in the 60s and most of the 70s.

So it doesn't surprise me the SBC held that view.

The conservatives took over, IIRC in 1979 under Adrian Rogers, Jerry Vines and Charles Stanley among others. and began purging the seminaries of liberal professors.

It sounds similar to what is happening with the RCC with the current pope.

Most recently the SBC and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship have split due to the latter's more "moderate (liberal) views on women as clergy and deacons. IIRC, the CBF is also very homosexual friendly.

All of this shows what happens when we take our eye off Scripture and begin to water down its meaning to fit man's purposes.

I agree with you. Here’s facts about the beginnings of the annual March for Life.

The March was the idea of the Knights of Columbus when a group of Knights went to the home of Catholic Pro-Life advocate
Nellie Gray with the idea of a March to protest the decision to make abortion legal in America. Because of her connections they wanted her to lead the movement which she did. Within a few years pro-life evangelicals joined the movement and other Protestant groups and for this I am eternally grateful. It is a national disgrace that child murder is still legal 45 years later.
