Do you think of yourself as a Pro-Life Christian? Learn why abolition is the only biblical view we can hold on abortion. What does it mean to be an abolitionist?
“Well Henry, what shall we abolish next?”
-William Wilberforce to his friend Henry Thornton
after the passage of The Abolition of the Slave Trade Act (1807)
“Abolitionist” is a term often associated with those who fought slavery, but it was never intended to be. It is a term that refers to a set of Biblical principles by which evils are removed. From quotes like the one above from Wilberforce and from the writings of many abolitionists of slavery, we know that they desired to see these principles put to use against other and future evils.
Abolitionism is …
1. BIBLICAL
We are determined that the Bible should be the foundation for everything that we do. From the Bible, we proclaim that all human beings are created in the image of God. Genesis 1:27
2. GOSPEL-CENTERED
The Creator Himself became a Man in order to rescue mankind from sin, death, and eternal separation from Him. And He has commissioned us to bring the Good News to a fallen world.
3. BODY-DRIVEN
We believe that seeking the immediate abolition of abortion is an obligation of the Church. We seek to awaken the Church to fulfill her ordained purpose to be salt and light in this sin-soaked world.
4. IMMEDIATE and UNCOPROMISING
We will not compromise with this culture of death. We must repent of our apathy and cease to tolerate this unspeakable evil, treating abortion consistently as what it is; the murder of the most defenseless and innocent members of our society.
5. Providential
We rely on the Providence of God, not the pragmatism of man. We are called to be faithful, to walk in righteousness, to speak the truth in love, and to trust in Him above our own understanding.
