Amen! All Glory to Christ our King!
The rise and progress of abortion abolitionism:
We've come a long way. In the early days abolitionists were critical of pro-life legislation and pro-life legislators. "You'll never get anyone to propose your bills!" we were told. In 2016, we saw the first abolitionist senator who proposed the first abolitionist bill. Somebody proposed the bill. They were wrong.
"You'll never win on an abolitionist platform!" But now it has happened. Not only that, but campaigns that have been run by people who campaigned as pro-lifers but believed abolitionist ideas became more likely to fail than campaigns that were run as abolitionists. The contrast is becoming not only beneficial but necessary. Abolitionist candidates have won. They were wrong.
"You'll never get anyone to call themselves abolitionists." In 2026 it is a clear distinction for many who not only adopt the language but the ideas associated with it. Pro-life is becoming unpopular. Abolitionist is the only way. People are becoming abolitionists. They were wrong.
"You're too harsh, you'll never win people over!" Mostly a complaint of the influencer class. The people watching didn't agree, and watch they did. With over 850 Million organic views across all platforms, abolitionism proved to be not only persuasive, but more successful at distributing a message than any organization peddling pro-lifeism. It was not through coalition building or playing the political game, but bold truth-telling that won people over. The harsh truth is succeeding. They were wrong.
"You'll never win over the churches." What started as a small group of SBC abolitionist pastors pushing abolitionism in the largest protestant denomination in the country has resulted in tremendous fruit. Even the president of the SBC today has voiced support for abolition bills. Just a few years ago, that would have been unthinkable. Churches are being won over. They were wrong.
The slander didn't work. The insults didn't work. The gatekeeping didn't work. The pragmatism didn't work.
It's not a hard concept. God blesses faithfulness, though flawed the messengers may be. He is not one to bless the scheming of men who seek glory for themselves. HE wants the glory. He needs no horses or chariots or the might of man to accomplish His will. Simple faithfulness is all He requires.
As bills advance through legislatures, it is only a matter of time before the first laws will be put in place, and with them, with hope, the political pragmatism of Christians will finally die.
Abolition is inevitable.
