Abolition is rooted in the biblical belief that every human being is created in the image of God and possesses equal value and dignity from the moment of fertilization. Because human life begins at fertilization, abolition holds that every preborn child should receive equal protection under the law without exception or partial recognition. Rather than regulating abortion through incremental policies, abolition calls for the complete and immediate protection of innocent human life through laws grounded in moral truth and justice.

We call upon legislators to write laws that uphold the equal value of every human being, and upon the judicial system to faithfully uphold those moral laws with impartial justice. Scripture teaches that civil government is established by God to punish evil and defend the innocent (Romans 13:1–4). The Bible also commands justice for those who cannot defend themselves: “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter” (Proverbs 24:11). Because God forbids the shedding of innocent blood (Proverbs 6:16–17) and declares that mankind is made in His image (Genesis 1:27), abolition seeks equal protection for every preborn child under both God’s law and human law.
