Why Abolition
Because incrementalism in theory
is abortion in practice.
Incrementalism is ineffective
Incremental approaches—such as “safe, legal, and rare,” gestational limits, or exceptions—have not ended abortion. Instead, they have normalized it, expanded it, and made it socially acceptable. Every compromise has historically served as a stepping stone to more abortion, not less.
“A little leaven leavens the whole lump.”
Galatians 5:9 Incrementalism is morally inconsistent
We would never accept a “partial” right to kill born human beings based on age, size, location, or level of dependency. To allow the intentional killing of preborn children while protecting the born is a moral contradiction. Equal justice demands equal protection for all human beings, regardless of their location, size, or stage of development.
“You shall not murder.”
Exodus 20:13 Incrementalism is against the Word of God
Scripture consistently affirms the value of human life from the womb and calls us to defend the vulnerable, not negotiate their worth. Compromise on the taking of innocent life grieves the heart of God and contradicts His commands to protect the weak.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.”
Jeremiah 1:5 Incrementalism condones and prolongs abortion
Any policy that allows abortion in some cases still permits the intentional taking of innocent human life. This sends the message that some lives are expendable and sustains an industry, culture, and legal framework that continues to claim the lives of millions. We must not manage or regulate a moral evil—we must end it.
“Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”
Ephesians 5:11 Abortion is a national sin
Abortion is not only an individual sin—it is a national sin. Our nation has enshrined the killing of the preborn into law, funded it with taxpayer dollars, and celebrated it as a right. Like the sins of Israel in the Old Testament, it has brought judgment on our land. We need more than private conviction; we need national repentance—turning from this evil as a people and seeking God’s mercy.
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 Science confirms life begins at conception
At conception, a unique, living human organism is formed with a complete set of human DNA, a distinct genetic identity, and an organized, self-directed process of development. From this moment, the preborn child is not a “potential” human being, but a human being—alive and growing.
Human rights demand protection from conception
Every human being has an inherent right to life, simply by being a human being. This right is not granted by government, but is grounded in our humanity and affirmed by natural law. Since the preborn child is a human being, justice, consistency, and basic human rights require that we protect their right to life from the moment of conception.
Scripture affirms life from conception
The Bible consistently presents life as beginning at conception, with God’s intentional design, knowledge, and care for the preborn child.
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.”
Psalm 139:13 “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.”
Psalm 127:3 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.”
Jeremiah 1:5
