Abolitionism has historically been wed to the doctrine of immediatism. The history of the pro-life movement has been

one of gradualistic means and measures, incremental legislation, ameliorative programs, and the inclusion of exceptions to abortion

along the way to its eventual total abolition. Abolitionists reject the idea that you can effectively fight evil by allowing it in some

cases or do away with it by planned out incremental steps which preserve it along the way. Abolitionists reject the notion that you can

ever commit evil in order that good may come. Abolitionists cry NO COMPROMISE!!! Pro-lifers cry “get the best that you can get when you

can get it,” and consistently support the “lesser of two evils.”

In this program, we examine afresh how immediatism is applied to the effort to abolish human abortion.
