Jonathan Van Maren and Josh Brahm. Yikes.
Until recently, I liked Jonathan Van Maren despite his incrementalism. He has written good stuff about abortion victim images, euthanasia, pornography, and other moral issues. He is a skilled communicator and one of two journalists whose work I studied closely when I began as a writer. That makes this whole situation rather sad for me,…

Contra Klusendorf and Desiring God: Pro-Life Compromise Dooms Preborn Children
By popular demand, it’s time for a response to Scott Klusendorf’s article at Desiring God entitled “Abortion Dies by a Thousand Votes,” in which he defends political incrementalism and attempts to paint abolitionists as the enemies of progress. He begins with a fictional anecdote, before making three arguments against immediatism. We will deal with the…

Luther, Athanasius, and the Need For Courageous Men to Abolish Abortion
Hey men, how many babies were murdered in your state today? Men, twenty babies were murdered today in Oklahoma by abortion, and those are just the ones that are counted. How many were murdered in your state? You must answer two questions: Will you act like a cowardly boy in the midst of this abortion…

Crimes Against Humanity Are Never Legally Binding
[UPDATE: Roe v. Wade has been overturned. Tragically, every state in the union obeyed orders to allow the murder of children for 49 years. All of this information remains relevant as it is possible that Congress or the executive branch may attempt to once again for child murder on the states. Should that happen, we…

Abortion is Murder and Everybody Knows it
Even in a less technologically advanced age, the suggestion that life begins anywhere but conception is such an absurd proposition that it’s unlikely most who say it even believe it. A 1963 pamphlet from Planned Parenthood defending the use of birth control by arguing that birth control was not abortion is evidence of this: “Is…

Abortion Can, Must, and Shall Be Abolished State-by-State
[UPDATE: Roe v. Wade has been overturned. Tragically, every state in the union obeyed orders to allow the murder of children for 49 years. All of this information remains relevant as it is possible that Congress or the executive branch may attempt to once again for child murder on the states. Should that happen, we…

It’s All About the Church
Free the States is a lobbying organization. We spend time at the Capitol. We meet with public officials. We deliver memos. We do all that stuff. But our primary focus is not the legislature. Our primary project is exhorting, equipping, and where necessary, rebuking the people of God. Our most important objective by far is…

Christian, Not Pro-Life
No, I am absolutely not advocating for abortion or a woman’s so called “right to choose.” Abortion is the premeditated killing of children in the womb. A woman has a right to do anything with her body that she desires; however, during pregnancy she is carrying someone else’s body with which she may not do…

Republican Establishment Plays Pro-Life Organizations Like a Fiddle
Politicians, like all other sinful people, have their own self-interest in mind (in most cases, more so than the average person). The few with a strong moral center and who are indwelt by the Spirit of God will to varying degrees subdue their self-interest and stand on principle, but these are the exceptions to the rule.…

“Why so vehement? So unyielding? So severe?”
The abortion-loving, pornified, plastic status quo exists because people love the status quo. The norm is comfort and stability. Change is chaotic and uncertain. People are sure to cling to what they know. How do you dislodge idols from the hands of those who love them? You assail them verbally and make them look as…
