Not a Victim Announces New Edition of “Things Your Say to Us” Focused on Equal Protection

On November 22nd, Not A Victim announced a new printing of her “Things You Say to Us” cards that will specifically focus on Equal Protection and an accompanying fundraiser to fund their printing. According to her fundraising page, “Bradley Pierce (Abolitionist Attorney) made a little comment about how we should do a new series of our “Things You Say To Us” (in the abortion debate) card series, but this time, specifically addressing the things LEGISLATORS, Republicans, Pastors, and Christians say to us in the debates about the equal protection bills. I thought that was a pretty profound idea. So, I took my notes from my meetings this last session with over 150 legislators and their staffers and wrote up 48 “Things They Said To Us” and our short responses.” A total of $7,845 is needed to print the cards and needed quickly as several legislative sessions begin in January.

Abolition Resolution Passes at Kentucky Baptist Convention, Fails in Louisiana

The Kentucky Baptist Convention gathered on November 14th for their annual meeting. Abolish Abortion Kentucky, which is led by Southern Baptist Pastors, put forth a resolution titled, “On Equal Protection of the Laws for Preborn Children.” The resolution did not have to be voted on to be brought of committee and was passed unanimously by the messengers.

The Louisiana Baptist Convention met on November 15th. Abolitionist Pastor, Brian Gunter, again put forth a Resolution on Equal Protection and it was again rejected by the Resolutions Committee. Pastor Gunter moved to bring the resolution out of committee, but it was eventually voted down after two spoke for the resolution and two against. A video of the exchange can be found here. Apologia Studios also interview Pastor Gunter here and he addressed his own congregation here. I also recommend reading this thread from Abolitionists Rising.

On November 17th, Baptist Message slandered Pastor Gunter saying his resolution called for, “the prosecution of women who underwent an abortion” which is false and addressed specifically in the resolution which states, “mothers would not be subject to criminal liability for an act prior to the effective date of the law (ex post facto).”

End Abortion Now Releases Two New Exposés

End Abortion Now has released two new exposés on their YouTube Channel exposing the hypocrisy of the Pro-Life Establishment. One is titled, “Exposé: Mike Johnson & Pro-Life Hypocrisy” which exposes current Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and how he worked to keep abortion legal in Louisiana. Brian Gunter is interviewed in the film and after the film premiered Mike Johnson responded to Brian’s claims in the exposé which can be found in this thread.

The second exposé was titled, “The Fatal Flaw: Lies, Laws, & Pro-life Deception” which shows the real reason abortion is still legal in the United States during and after Roe v. Wade.

Abolition Headlines

Abolitionists Rising released multiple videos on their YouTube channel including:

Erika Schanzenbach had two excellent threads recently. One explaining how the pro-life claim that “70% of women are coerced into abortion” is false, and another on explaining how John 8 is not about Jesus overturning or redefining justice.

Abolish Abortion NC is helping to connect churches to act in unison on strategic projects in their state to see abortion abolished. They are asking this video be shared with NC churches to help them accomplish this task!
