Brent Leatherwood Elected ERLC President, Hates Abortion Abolition as Much as the Last Guy
n a troubling sign that the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission will continue unabated in its role as the smug and smarmy bastion of SBC elites, the organization’s board of trustees has unanimously elected Brent leatherwood to fill the role as the next President of the ERLC, following Russell Moore’s departure.
A Russell Moore clone, Leatherwood has been the acting President since September 2021. The search committee was tasked with replacing Moore but never released their list of candidates, ultimately replacing him with a man who mirrors his predecessor perfectly and who had been Moore’s right hand man for years.
Perhaps the most important thing to know about the ERLC President is that, like the whole organization, he despises everything about it abortion abolition. From the demands that abortion is made illegal without exception to the insistence that all persons receive equal justice under the law, to the suggestion that women who take their babies to an abortionist ghoul to receive the sanitized equivalent of three swift kicks to their soft skulls and then a curb stomp to squish the brains out, really are murderers. He especially hates the notion that women should be punished in some way for killing their babies. God forbid! Leatherwood has been very vocal about this and considers the idea blasphemy.
His denial of this base reality is nauseating, as is his insistence that women who pay their boyfriends to drown their three-year-olds should be punished but women who pay their abortion doctors to drown their three months old in their own blood should never, ever be punished or even entertain the hint of some form of consequence. He explains:
Here’s the reality. You’re not going to get me to say that I want to throw mothers behind bars. That’s not the view of this entity. That is not the view of this convention. It is not the view of the pro-life movement. That was proven yet again today.
I believe the same principles that Jesus used in John 4 and John 8 apply right here. Maybe instead of rushing in like a mob, we instead rush in with the truth given to us by the author of life showing we are able to bear the burdens of others and offer the healing that comes with grace, just as has been poured out for us.
He put teeth to his conviction after joining forces with Planned Parenthood to help stop a bill to abolish abortion in Louisiana, prior to the overturning of Roe v Wade because it amended the Louisiana homicide codes to define “unborn child” as “an individual human being from fertilization until birth,” and “person” as “a human being from the moment of fertilization.”
These redefinitions classified abortion as homicide by including preborn children among those protected by the laws against murder, and therefore women who kill their babies in the womb would be subject to the same fines and punishments as those who kill their babies out of the womb. Equal protection under the law. Equal justice. Either it’s a baby, or it’s not.
The authors of the bill reasoned that you couldn’t decry this act as the “murder” of an innocent baby and then have absolutely zero consequences for those who indulge. They assert you can’t give a baby in the womb the same rights as a baby out of the womb would have, and then shrug your shoulders when someone melts them in a chemical bath or dismembers them and turns them into a chopped up slurry of blood and brains.
But the ERLC and Leatherwood were adamant that you could, writing in an open letter:
“Women are victims of abortion…let us be clear: We state unequivocally that any measure seeking to criminalize or punish women is not pro-life and we stand firmly opposed to such efforts...we will continue to oppose legislative and policy initiatives that criminalize women who seek abortions“
The new ERLC president is no friend of the unborn, and Leatherwood’s hands have blood on them that will not easily wash off.

The ERLC is a cesspool of godless secular ethics and moral relativism, which is antithesis to Biblical ethics and the absolute truth of God’s Word.
If it is to continue to exist, they need to clean the slate and start over, building on a solid Biblical foundation. The most basic fundamentals of ethics, the definition of rights, is an excellent place to start. Do not confuse the concept of free-will with the concept of rights. The two are not the same.
Rights are not only given by God, they are allowances that have His approval according to His Word, for which others are obligated to respect before God – not obligated to society, not obligated to others, but obligated to God.
If God does not approve, then it is not a right.
If God does not obligate us to respect it, then it is not a right.
I’m sure I’m just barely touching the surface, and others understand Biblical ethics better than me, but this most basic fundamental is a good place to start. They must understand, as do the rest of us, that whatever they say or do, it must not exceed the boundaries defined by God’s Word.
Once established, every individual there should undergo extensive training on Biblical ethics, If they disagree or hold views that are in conflict, fire them on the spot.

Like when Russell Moore stood at the podium and defended funding of a mosque saying “because Baptists are for Freedom!”
NO
How could one possibly read God’s Word, and not understand that, while we are to respect the fact that others are given free will, we are NOT obligated to respect everything they do with that free will? We are in fact commanded – more than obligated – commanded – to not aid, support, or encourage others in exercises of free will that are contrary to God’s Word.
They need to turn to a Biblical worldview.
A simple faith and trust that God knows better than we do. Don’t get so caught up in the academic, legal, political, or other exercises that you lose sight of that one simple fact. Don’t get so full of yourself that you start thinking you know better than He does. Don’t start trying to take His place. Don’t lean on your own understanding. Have confidence in Him and His Word. His Word has never failed, and it never will.
I would be reluctant right now to declare the new guy is as bad as Russell Moore because that is a horrendous thing to be. But anybody who was comfortable working under Moore is obviously a bad choice. His tweet that we should celebrate the confirmation to the Supreme Court of someone who is so deferential to the perversion lobby that she says she can’t tell us what a woman is , shows that he has drunk of Moore’s Kool-Aid too deeply.
