No Quarter November: How Is Doug Wilson Not an Abolitionist?

Point of Order! How Missouri Baptists Killed the Resolution on Abolishing Abortion.
At the 2021 Missouri Baptist annual meeting, my motion to bring the Resolution on Abolishing Abortion to the floor for debate was, at best, negligently overlooked.
