In a report by The Dallas Morning News, leaders who are part of the pro-life movement talked about abortion. One of these leaders was Pastor Robert Jeffress. He is the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Dallas. It is a megachurch with thousands of members.
Pastor Robert Jeffress has been outspoken about his beliefs in abortion and is one of many faith leaders in the United States who are against Roe v. Wade. The pastor said that abortion rights were God's wrath and linked abortion to ancient religions. He said that during ancient times, abortion was a ritual of sacrifice.
Pastor Jeffress said that America disobeyed God. It was the result of much violence in the United States. He stated that God is punishing the country through His actions.
