In addition to electing another strongly pro-life president, the 1,200 delegates to the 2001 National Convention of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) affirmed the church's long-held opposition to abortion and, in a separate action on July 20, opposed stem cell research that would require the destruction of human embryos. The LCMS, a church body of 2.6-million members has consistently opposed abortion.
The delegates denounced "the utilitarian values that place the possible healing of medical diseases over the life of defenseless human beings." The LCMS also noted in a separately adopted resolution, that "RU-486, along with other drugs and procedures, has made it easier to take the life of children in the womb while strengthening and perpetuating the myth in our culture that the unborn child is not worthy of life or protection."

Long known for his commitment to the sanctity of human life, Dr. Kieschnick is currently serving as president of the Texas District of the LCMS. He will be installed in September in St. Louis, the site of the church's international headquarters.
