June V. Russo Must Be the Death Knell of Pro-Life Judicial Supremacy and Incrementalism
The decision offered by the supreme court in June Medical Services v. Russo cannot seriously be taken as a surprise as the history of abortion litigation in America over the last half-century is one of unrelenting dehumanization of preborn human beings. Not one iota of Roe has been rolled back in 47 years. These decisions…

“I oppose abortion, but there are procedures bills have to follow”
One of the most common excuses Oklahoma abolitionists hear from Senators who voted to kill The Abolition of Abortion in Oklahoma Act is a version of “I oppose abortion, but there are procedures bills have to follow,” or “there are legislative norms we have to keep,” or “there’s a process we have to respect.” Larry…

The Republican Party of Texas held their state convention this week to determine platform planks, party rules, and legislative priorities.

My Pro-Life-to-Abolitionist Conversion
I have converted from pro-life to abolitionist. To all my pro-life friends, allow me to explain. I now see total Statewide criminalization of abortion, and unconditional defiance of Roe v.

Using the A-Word, Indiana Abolitionist John Jacob Unseats Incumbent Pro-Life Rep.
Unfortunately, it has become the thinking of some in the Abolitionist Movement that it is politically savvy for abolitionist candidates to refrain from calling themselves abolitionists and even from using the terms “abolish” or “abolition” at all.

The Image of God Is the Key, the Incarnation of God Is the Engine
The Abolitionist Movement is explicitly Christian. Abolitionists believe that it should be an explicitly Christian movement and we think the Pro-Life Movement has erred in not being explicitly Christian. Many in the Pro-Life Movement, obviously, do not agree. The pro-life argument goes that Christianity is unnecessary to the simple argument against abortion. It’s common among…

Why Do Pro-Lifers Despise Abolitionists?
I was working for a pro-life organization when I became an abolitionist. In my time with that organization, I was told by my employers and by other pro-life leaders that Abolitionists were unnecessarily mean and divisive. Even after embracing abolitionism as an ideology, I still figured that the accusations were probably true. The ideas of…
