CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION 

The Love of Truth Ministries REFINING ABOLITION Conference and Mission is two-fold. To begin, It will focus on what we need to do as abolitionists to abolish abortion in this post-Roe land. In addition, we will look at how the abolition movement can continue to be refined as we move forward to total abolition.

Roe v Wade is no more, but is abortion actually abolished in Texas and in this nation? Did you know that though Roe was “reversed” it was never actually “overturned?” Why is this? It is simply because Roe was never law. Courts don’t make law and only laws can be overturned! In addition, rest assured that the Dobbs decision from SCOTUS was no better. With Dobbs, they said that states have the power to regulate abortion. But, is this really true? Unfortunately, post-Roe, the abortion holocaust is still alive and well!  The Bible says “You shall not pollute the land in which you live, for blood pollutes the land…” (Numbers 35:33). In America, our land has been polluted with the innocent blood of the pre-born. God will not bless a nation that turns its back on Him and continues to allow child sacrifice to run rampant (Psalm 33:12). Unfortunately, the “pro-life” establishment and politicians have largely failed to end this holocaust. Have we been compromising in our approach? Have we compromised in our incremental and regulatory legislation? Have we compromised in the political realm by whom we support, vote for, and put in office (by supporting those who support the regulation of abortion, and supporting the “lesser of two evils”)? (Exodus 18:21 and Proverbs 29:2). Just like the abolitionists of slavery, there is a new movement today… it is the abolition of abortion movement. It is past time to rise up and demand the total and complete abolition of abortion in our land!

With that said, we as abolitionists, need to continue to check ourselves, hold each other accountable, learn and grow. After all, we are sinful and fallible human beings and should never get to a place where we think we are perfect and have everything all figured out. Just like God desires His children to be continually refined in conformed in His likeness, our thinking and actions to abolish abortion need to follow suit. God’s word states, “For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.” (Psalm 66:10). In addition, Proverbs 27:7 says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” Let us learn and grow together in the Lord!

We thank God that you have decided to attend this conference where we pray that you will find out how you can become part of history by becoming a modern-day abolitionist of abortion!

During this conference, participants will learn:


• The distinctives of the abolition of abortion and how it differs from the mainstream “pro-life establishment”
• How abortion is actually illegal in every state in the union
• How abortion can still be carried out at every stage in Texas
• Why babies are still being denied equal protection
• How we can actually develop a strategy to abolish abortion in this state and the whole union
• How to employ effective grassroots activism on the streets and at the local abortion facilities
• How to advance righteous public policy to establish justice
• How to engage in local, life-saving outreach
• How to use gracious and persuasive anti-abortion apologetics • How to become an effective and consistent abortion abolitionist
