Southern Baptists are applauding the election of President Barack Obama but say they're troubled by his views on abortion and other issues.

Leaders of the nation's largest Protestant denomination voted today in favor of a resolution to "share our nation's pride" in the election of the country's first black president.

The vote comes on the second day of the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Louisville and as the group faces declining membership.
