Abolitionist Society of Pennsylvania

In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, over 30,000 people are murdered every year, through the apathy of Christians, and the permission of Pennsylvania law. Abortion destroys an innocent human being created in the image of God, and turns parents into murderers.

The Christians of Pennsylvania are waking up to this holocaust, and are rediscovering the principles and practices of abolition. Like the abolitionists of slavery, we are bringing the good news of Jesus Christ into conflict with the greatest evil of our age. Whether addressing the guilt of parents, compromising legislators, unbelievers or apathetic Christians, our call to repentance impacts all citizens in the commonwealth.

There is forgiveness for the sin of abortion, and new life in Christ alone. True repentance shows itself through the abolition of sin from our personal and corporate lives.

Abolition is a paradigm shift in how Christians relate to evil in the world. The following articles are must-reads for anyone new to the movement.

Pro-Choice, Pro-Life, Abolitionist

When someone asks me if I’m pro-life, I always have to ask what he or she means by that. If I answer “no,” then the asker will typically assume that I am pro-choice, in favor of granting parents the freedom to murder their children. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I of course oppose child sacrifice; however that does not mean that I am pro-life.

There are now three schools of thought — the secularists (pro-choicers), the syncretists (pro-lifers), and the biblicists (abolitionists). Like the abolitionists of slavery who fought the colonizationist movement, modern abolitionists believe that the single greatest thing keeping abortion legal is not the pro-choice movement, but rather the pro-life movement. It’s the same strategy that Satan has used for ages; by presenting a syncretistic answer to abortion, well-meaning Christians will leave the word of God out of the discussion, effectively leaving out the cure...

How Pro-Life Laws Are Keeping Abortion Legal

The key doctrine which distinguishes abolition from rival approaches to national sin is known as immediatism; the opposing view is called gradualism, or incrementalism.

As an illustration of the conflict between these two schools of thought, pro-life activists and legislators will put forward laws stating that it should be illegal to kill a child once she has a heartbeat. This kind of bill is marketed as an attempt to save some children, as a step toward gradually abolishing abortion. Abolitionists on the other hand will oppose this bill because it does not completely, immediately abolish abortion.

The resistance of abolitionists to incremental measures can seem like nonsense — why would someone who loves children and opposes their murder be against a law that protects at least some children? Aren’t incremental measures a good thing to enact, on the way to complete and total abolition?...

A Truncated Gospel

Christian activists will often complain that the Church avoids speaking about politics, public policy and issues of social justice. The basic assumption that undergirds this aversion to civil engagement is that God only cares about the salvation of individual souls from eternal hellfire. He is not concerned with impacting governments and legislation, because He came to earth exclusively to save sinners, and give them eternal life.

Abolitionists disagree with this kind of reasoning however, viewing it as a truncated gospel. We believe that the good news of Jesus Christ is broader in scope and impact than exclusively personal, individual salvation, and that Christians are both permitted and required to address the whole issue of sin that has taken root in our world, not just one aspect. In this article, we will look at Jesus’ ministry, His purpose in coming to Earth, and how the good news of His kingdom relates to our national sin of child sacrifice.
