Synopsis

To quote Ruth Wilson Gilmore, “Abolition is not absence, it is presence.” It is the creation of new systems and relationships that renders a practice or institution unnecessary. An abolition framework permits Christians to engage people across the current pro-life versus pro-choice divide and more effectively addresses the root causes of why there is abortion. This book is not focused on espousing a particular political position regarding electoral politics. Rather, it seeks to evaluate some assumptions that give rise to people feeling trapped in various political dilemmas. In interrogating these assumptions, we create more political and theological space that might open a more effective way to promote the lives of unborn children, their mothers, and their communities.
