These last few days have been very irritating for me. I took drastic action; I dumped a Facebook “friend” because his focus on Abolitionism has made my blood boil too many times.
I think Abolitionism is a cult or something approaching it. Logic, dialogue, reason, evidence, and other forms of information exchange have no effect on people that have swallowed that particular red pill.
They disassociate themselves from everyone that has a different opinion than themselves. They claim that only they are right and look for ways to divide others from themselves. They utilize scorched earth tactics on those with whom they disagree and vilify them as morally evil, traitorous to Jesus Christ, and tools of the devil.
Abolitionists claim to oppose “abortion child sacrifice”. Please note that these three words always appear together and in that order in their literature. For many years, prolife people have compared abortion on demand with accounts of the Old Testament which speak of apostate citizens of Israel sacrificing their children to the pagan god Moloch. (Yes, I know that “Moloch” has about five different spelling variations, but it’s all the same dude or demon, as the case may be.) Abolitionists have flipped this analogy into a real thing; they really believe that every woman seeking an abortion is killing her baby to give her unborn child to Moloch as an offering.
On the basis of the Ten Commandments; namely, “Thou shalt not kill,”; they want to criminally prosecute every woman that seeks an abortion for the crime of murder. They want this to be the law of the land in the United States, one state at a time.
Traditionally, prolife groups want to have laws to restrict surgical abortion, medications that can cause abortion, and in some cases, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Prolife groups typically offer counseling and try persuading young women to seek salvation and comfort in Christ. Several groups offer Bible studies geared to healing and offer prenatal care and material support to encourage women not to abort. Stopping abortion or an abortion decision is based on reason and material aid to the expectant mothers. Most prolife people are into real world intervention and as they are able push for legislative reforms to protect the unborn.
Abolitionists view such prolife legislative ideas as traitorous and call supporters of such proposals, “traitors” or worse. Abolitionists will oppose any politician sponsoring such a bill unless it also criminalizes the woman seeking the abortion. Utilizing a tactic employed by Aaron Park, in several smaller states they have purchased URLs in the candidate’s name and billboards proclaiming that Senator Jones (or whoever) supports abortion because his prolife legislation does not penalize mothers.
Below is one example, Oklahoma State Senator Todd Gollihare. Gollihare is up for re-election on June 16, 2026. Abolitionists have targeted this guy for not criminally penalizing women that seek abortion. Please note the URL at the bottom of the billboard ToddForAbortion.com Note the Senator Gollihare says he is 100% prolife.
They have defeated some state legislative candidates by using these tactics and thus will be employing them even more. (I think this was the basis of their election day attack a few weeks ago on Scott Herndon; my new State Senator.) Please note, as I hope to demonstrate shortly, that they only attack Republican prolife candidates.
Abolitionists have effectively declared war on the entire prolife movement and castigate them as traitors to life and sell-outs. In a previous blog post, I included a partial hit list of prolife groups that they have called out for apostacy.
I have attempted to dialogue with these folks and been shot-down every time. They are condescending and dismissive.
Ronald Reagan, who in my opinion was the greatest President of the 20th Century, used to get legislation passed by the Democrats in the House of Representatives by building coalitions with other people that agreed on the wisdom of a particular piece of legislation. When he could find agreement, Reagan would work with someone and when he couldn’t, he would find someone else. Reagan never burned bridges with anyone, he just learned when and how to work with folks when he could. Much of his legislative success was accomplished by his personality and charm.
Abolitionists are “all or nothing” single issue people. It’s them versus the world because everyone not with them, is identified as “of their father, the devil”. Hence, my previous comparisons to Barbara Alby and CRA.
This week, I ran across a few threads or possibly reposts of the same one with different graphics with the old and tired mantra that they would never vote for the lesser of two evils. This is the usual crap that surfaces every so often that not voting or skipping that race is more virtuous than actually picking a side. They will only participate in the political process when somebody they agree with gets on the ballot under their own steam. They reserve the right not to vote at all but are totally willing to bump-off a prolife candidate, even in favor of a proabortion one; if said prolife person manages to piss them off. Purity or punishment seem kind of Marxist to me.
I went into the bowels of my Facebook account and located the gem.
“Trump’s legacy will be that he presided over the largest holocaust of human history while trying to shift attention away at every turn.
I regret my vote for him. I repent. Never again.
I thought that he would move the needle in the right direction.
I thought that his appointments to the court would make all the difference.
I wanted my vote to “count.” I wanted to be a part of the process. I didn’t want to be left out.
I wanted to believe that I had a champion fighting for what I believed in. “My guy” in the ring, who, although we had serious disagreements, at least I could feel like my side was winning the tug-of-war when he was out in office.
I thought that if I didn’t vote, I couldn’t complain. That’s what I was told.
I thought that voting for a pro-legal-abortion pagan and fake Christian would somehow cause things to be better for the preborn.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
The Biblical answer is to refuse to do evil that good may come.
The Biblical answer is to appoint only “men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain.” (Exodus 18)
Turning in a blank ballot is saying “no” and “woe” to:
- Compromise
- Partiality
- Injustice
- Delay
- Unequal weights and measures
And ultimately it’s saying “no” and “woe” to a Conservative Party bent on regulating instead of abolishing legal child sacrifice.“
But the liberals will destroy the nation!”
Not any more than God will destroy the nation that tolerates child sacrifice.
May the Republicans lose every election until they repent and fight to establish real justice and protection for those being murdered.
If you have a true abolitionist to vote for, support them regardless of their estimated chances of winning.
If you don’t, don’t be tempted to support the people who, through cowardice or compromise or corruption, will work to maintain the legal status of human sacrifice.”
~ Abolitionist Peter Daniel Webb
This was added by a person reposting the thread above:
The Biblical answer is to vote only for people who will judge without partiality. Meaning those who will never draw lines and say, “these people can be murdered, and these can’t” and “these people can murder, and these can’t.” Re-drawing the lines in a different place is still partiality.
The Biblical answer is to say, “Woe to those who decree iniquitous decrees, and the writers who keep writing oppression, to turn aside the needy from justice… and make the fatherless their prey!” (Isaiah 10) You can’t vote for someone and be a prophetic voice of “woe” at the same time.

One Abolitionists supporter wrote:
William who said don’t vote? It’s not that we don’t vote, but choose not to vote for a man who is evil and promotes child sacrifice. The same way we should not vote for someone who promotes and put for bills for the murder of a one year-old child in order to save the two-year-old child. It’s wicked and evil. We should not vote for that individual that promotes evil who oppresses a human being.
I vote, but I did not vote for evil in order that some good may come out of it.
My response was:
… by not voting, you are abdicating a right and tool that God has given you to peaceful transform society; something we are commanded by Scripture to do.
If you don’t like a candidate, then put forth another and persuade folks to support that person. You can’t change the system if you don’t participate in it.
Christ is ruling now. If Obama or Biden or Bush or Trump is President, then He has willed it for His purposes. Our ballot choices are given to us by God, and it is our duty to pick the best person, not throw a tantrum because everyone on the ballot is a flawed image bearer of God.
Lastly, I find the unwillingness of Abolitionist folks to work with other prolife groups very disturbing.
Translation, we want only to be ruled by the most oppressive tyrants that the Democrat Party can give us until such time as Republicans, who we refuse to help in any way, field a holy enough candidate that we might be inclined to vote for him.
Ok, so anyone that agrees with Abolitionists less than 100 percent is the enemy, all women who have had abortions are to be tried for murder and executed (this is the Biblical punishment for murder), prolife people are the problem because they are compromising traitors to the cause, and anyone claiming to be a Christian that has a different opinion on life is to be vilified. Sounds like a winning formula for transforming society.
Oh, can anyone cite for me any Christian society in the last 2,000 years that executed women that aborted their children? Just one.
Why do they claim only one verse, Exodus 20:13, covers abortion. This is untrue. It is lazy exegesis and sloppy theology.
So, what will this utopian society look like once the Abolitionists have executed 30 or so million women in our country? Isn’t this just the rightwing version of the Muslims or Taliban?
Look, biblically speaking, we all deserve death for the sins that we have committed. Jesus died in our place and by faith in Him, we can be saved This is the Gospel. Letting the Abolitionists act as God’s agents to avenge one particular sin which they claim to never have committed seems rather narrow to me. If you want to really punish sin, let’s execute all the adulterers, homosexuals, liars, witches, disobedient children, those that don’t keep the Sabbath, and all the rest in the Bible that are worthy of death. Sooner or later, we all will be on one of those lists deserving of execution. Oh, and just for fun, let’s start this purge with the churches supporting Abolitionists.
Statistically, abortion rates and rates of divorce are the same within the Christian community as in the general population. Wouldn’t you reasonably expect that if the Church was doing its job that divorce, adultery, abortion, homosexuality, and a litany of other sins would be demonstrably less in Churches that are following God? Verses like “Let him who is perfect cast the first stone” and “Let your light shine” set a high standard that we are clearly not achieving now.
Can you see now why I previously accused the SPLC of funding these guys? They make the rest of us look really bad. But wait, doesn’t making the rest of us look bad make them virtuous? Nope.
How does responding to mass killing by advocating more mass killing solve anything and further the Gospel?
So yeah, I got this guy off of my Facebook feed but one of the Abolitionists websites has almost 500,000 followers so you better be worried. These wolves in sheep’s clothing may be in your congregation recruiting for vengeance on God’s behalf.
