Late Monday afternoon, Mike Griffin, with the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, stood in a quiet corner of the Georgia Capitol building.

He balanced a selfie stick in one hand as he recorded a video on his smartphone to share with church members on social media.

“You be praying that this bill will move,” he said. “We know it’s gonna be absolutely one of the greatest pro-life bills that have ever been passed, and we’re excited.”
